That is not a very pedestrian friendly area. It usually always has a high degree of constant traffic at all hours, best not to be walking in the Cajalco Road area. This is very sad.

RIGHT IS RIGHT AN. WRONG IS WRONG
This is heartbreaking. I wonder how the pedestrian was struck by the motorist. Was he trying to cross the road? If Laurel said that it is not a pedestrian friendly area, then perhaps the speed limit should be changed to make motorists slower? Maybe that would help avoid accidents in the area.
