Mr. X, age 55, is driving down a secondary road, Hobart St., at 9:00 PM in an unfamiliar part of town. He is late because he promised to pick up his wife at 8:45. Mr. X is listening to the hockey game on the car radio while he looks for Front St., where his wife said to turn in order to reach his destination. Ms. Y, wearing a dark blue coat and white hat, crosses in the middle of Hobart St without looking. Mr. X does not see her and strikes Ms Y with his car. Police arrive and question Mr. X, who says that he never saw the pedestrian. Mr. X admits that he has had a few beers but his blood alcohol content is .06, within the legal limit. The police do not charge him with DUI. What caused the accident

Answer:

did the dude have his headlights on? also I'd say carelessness, as his eyes should be on the road, and if his headlights were on, the pedestrian would've most likely seen the car.
