Without witnessing the event, I'm not sure how most here are deciding who is to blame in this story. I could see either side being responsible.

Every day I see terrible driving. Most people are just not paying attention to what is most important while driving. We have way too many accident in our area.

I also live in the area of this story. I drive, bicycle, and walk these neighborhood streets. There are way too many lose dogs and cats wondering around leash-less. If you care for your pets, they would not be out lose. (For any reason).
