A pedestrian stepped onto the road just as a car approached from behind. Despite the car moving slowly and having clear visibility, it slowly struck and ran over the pedestrian without any braking. The vehicle only stopped after the incident had occurred. The extent of injuries is currently unclear.

Driving experts suggest the driver may have been preoccupied with checking the left rearview mirror. The sedan was using its left turn signal to merge into the lane. This inattention meant the driver failed to observe the pedestrian stepping off the curb, leading the car to slowly run over the individual without any reaction.

Therefore, when pulling out from a parked position to merge into traffic, drivers must maintain broad awareness, observing the road ahead and both sides in the direction of travel.

Pedestrians should avoid stepping onto the road carelessly in areas without designated crosswalks. When needing to cross, it is essential to stop, observe carefully, and only proceed when the path is clear of approaching vehicles.
