Police reports tell the chilling story, in bland language:
âUnit two was northbound on South Dobson Road just south of Southern Avenue in lane number two. Unit one, a pedestrian, was crossing in the crosswalk against the light from west to east.Â
âThis crosswalk has a traffic light but the signal was green for northbound traffic. The pedestrian crossed the street in the darkness of night and was struck by unit two going northbound.Â
âThe pedestrian was taken to Banner Desert Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.â
The average road vehicle weighs about 4,000 pounds with top speeds of around 120 mph.

Mesa has a plan to ensure an economical supply of water to serve fast-growing southeast Mesa, but that doesnât mean it will be cheap or easy.
A 10 ½ mile pipeline costing $90 million and snaking through east Mesa and through Gilbert would send a large amount of treated effluent to the Gila River Indian Community to irrigate crops.
In return, Mesa would receive rights toward supplies of potable water suitable for drinking after treatment, averting potential shortfalls an estimated four or five years from now in southeast Mesa.
Despite the daunting cost and the disruption of traffic during the pipelineâs construction along parts of Val Vista Drive and Greenfield Road, Mayor John Giles said the pipeline is not only a necessity, but a good long-term investment in creating much-sought high-paying jobs and sales tax revenues.
