Iowa Pedestrian Injuries and Deaths - Update on death of infant child pedestrian

More details were given in the Iowa State Trooper report of this accident. Apparently the mother was at the mailbox on the opposite side of the street from where the child came and from their home. The driver looking out towards the passenger side, on the side where the mother stood, did not notice the small child fall at the rear wheels on the driver’s side. The child approached unnoticed by the driver or the mother. The truck was a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck. The date was May 26, 2009 at 1:30 pm. The location is at east side of the residence at 1207 20TH AVE S in Webster County, Iowa. The child was a 2-year-old female. The driver was administered a blood alcohol test, no results were mentioned in the report. Assuming the BAC comes back clean charges are not likely to be filed and this would seem to be purely an accident.

Pedestrian Collisions Causing Injury and Death

My mom was crossing street in crosswalk. She was one step from stepping UP on the curb when a car came around the corner and struck her. She seriously injured and taken to hospital. She suffered severe brain trauma and was in ICU for 5 days before we had to let her go. The police said they did not drug or alcohol test the driver. Isn't that a law in Iowa to make sure they do that?

How can a pedestrian avoid being hit by oncoming traffic?
