Sad. The sound of newspaper deliverymen at around 3:30 is my first signal of daybreak.

Fools should know by now after happening many times before, with street surveillance everywhere you can run but you can't hide.
Do the hustle
What’s the bet the driver was drunk too? I know this area pretty well and drink driving is nearly as common as rice fields. On the other hand, I also know these early morning celery drivers are very careless. The combination of two evils resulting in death. Sad!

I'll bet when they're caught, as they surely will be, they'll say:
"I didn't realize I hit someone"
