Am I missing part of the story? If the individual was blind, was he also deaf? Trucks are pretty loud, so how could he not hear the truck. And if he did have partial site out of one eye (and yes, none of us know to what extent the 'partial site' was) he should have seen some sort of blur, or movement and heard the truck! Or was this man also deaf? I feel for the family of the man who passed, but we need to look at the bigger picture of all circumstances. I suppose we will have to wait and see what the courts will say (and what new laws will be imposed to protect ourselves from ourselves....)
