Video footage of a teenager being hit by a car at a zebra crossing in Hungary
The driver did not slow down when nearing the zebra crossing, consequently failing to spot the pedestrian in time. The teenage victim had the right of way but unexpectedly stepped onto the road, pushing his bicycle alongside.
Several cars had passed without giving the pedestrian the opportunity to cross before the accident occured. The female driver, as she approached, noticed the victim while he was attempting to cross the road and promptly pushed the brakes. Nonetheless, she was not fast enough and ended up hitting the teenager. As a consequence of the collision, the victim sustained serious injuries that required over eight days to heal. The actual recovery period extended to three months.
In the legal indictment, the prosecution recommended that the court impose a fine on the offender and prohibit her from driving.
