I agree with Slightly Stoopid whos post is mostly smart. I am not blaming this unfortunate couple at all, but we have to pay more attention to our surroundings, and do not take our safety for granted just because we may be on vacation. I have had a few close calls of my own walking the west end road, luckily no major injuries occured. I will continue to trek up the west end road, but I will be twice as attentive as to having an escape route if needed.
