    Under the influence is not the point.
    Pedestrian right of way is!!!
    Slow down and show consideration

    What a shame. It looks like she may have crossed in teh middle of the block...WHY do people insist on crossing in the middle of the block instead of at the intersection? although thats not much safer.This is just so sad. My prayers to all onvoled, Fays family and loved ones and the driver of the truck. (who you don't need to know the name of)
