The young pedestrian “suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV"

Yet another reason why the proliferation of SUVs is fucking bad. Total tangent, I know, but still.

Oh and they always have tinted windows as well so you can't look through the windscreen to see if there's anyone there. It's bad enough when you're driving behind them and they suddenly slam on the brakes and you can't see in front of them so you have no idea what's going on. There could be a kaiju attack in progress for all you know.
