The incident occurred when a van making a U-turn at an intersection obscured two pedestrians crossing the road. A motorcyclist approaching at speed failed to see the pedestrians and hit a woman. The man accompanying her immediately attacked the motorcyclist with an umbrella. The victim and bystanders intervened, but the man continued his assault.

Drivers should always reduce speed and exercise caution at intersections, especially when visibility is limited. Pedestrians always have the right of way in marked crosswalks.

In the event of a collision, the priority should be assisting the injured, not resorting to violence. If parties cannot resolve the situation amicably, determining fault is the responsibility of the authorities. Responding with anger can escalate the situation and lead to more serious consequences.
