Quoted message said:justindavidsmith said:June 24, 2006 -- An actor who appeared in the MTV series "Undressed"
admitted in court yesterday he left the scene of a Manhattan accident
in which a pedestrian was killed by his car.
Not enough info.
Wsa the pedestrian legally crossing the street at a crosswalk or
crossing at a random location at night in dark cloths?
Just because the guy's rich, or driving, or survived, does not make him
automatically wrong in the death. Sounds like he wasn't even charged
with the death but only with leaving the scene of an accident. So I'd
guess the pedestrian was not behaving as a pedestrian should.

This is the best I can do to qualify the story:
"There are way too many stories about drunk or careless drivers
killing people, but this one hits close: A 25 year old NYU graduate
student was killed by a hit-and-run driver at 2nd Avenue and 14th
Street at about 1:30 AM Sunday morning. Hannah Engle and her sister
had seen "24 Hours on Craigslist" earlier in the morning and parted
when Engle was hit by a 2001 Hyundai driven by Wole Parks. Parks got
out of the car and left the scene, but left his wallet in the car. He
later turned himself into a precinct in Greenpoint and was charged
with Parks was charged with "leaving the scene of an accident, driving
with a suspended license and driving while intoxicated." A suspended
license - plus driving while intoxicated! This is a street that many
people walk on, and 1:30AM on a weekend night is just when people
start coming out! These stories make Gothamist crazy.
According to the Daily News, Engle's sister, Rebecca Jupiter, actually
saw the accident when she was about to go into the subway, saying, "I
instantly recognized her hair. I just knew it was her. I just ran up
to her, and there was blood on her face. She was not moving, and they
put her in the ambulance."
