Zombie crossing signs need to be posted every 200 feet on Broadway, the poor driver cruising along Broadway no driver’s license no insurance, and Wham a derelict walks in front of you.
Black Mitsubishi Lancer with a loud exhaust? I was tailgated by one the last time I was in Eureka, going down Buhne to the doctor’s office. Little driver sitting low behind the wheel, cap pulled down over his/her face. Is there more than one in Eureka….
Those zombies walk right out in front of cars constantly, I think they want to be hit, free and easy money….sad..real sad..
[edit]
I witnessed this happen and that car was driving at a very high rate of speed, hit the woman, didn’t attempt to stop and fled the scene. Zombie or not, she didn’t deserve that. It was a truamatic thing to witness.
