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?
