Also another reason to have a dash cam. The Expedition I overtake at 0:44 hit a child. If you look earlier, you'll see his brake light come on and he stops... I didn't even realize this until I drove back on the same road 10 minutes later and saw about 6 or 7 cop cars, a fire truck, and the same expedition still there. I decided to pull over and I asked what happened, the police officer me a child had been struck. I told him I had a dash cam and offered to show him him what the footage I caught when I drove by. I was genuinely shocked when he told me... Moral of the story: Get a dashcam, you never know what you might catch... I feel bad for the guy, but at least my video exonerates him(?) proves how dark it was and that he did stop.... It's kind of scary to think that had I left 10 seconds earlier that would have been me...

wait, he had his blinkers on already, did he see them and was already stopping? Or hit the child already

I'm confused even with the video..
