Its cuz the old grumpy folks are too busy driving around looking for parties to call in to the police that they can’t pay attention to the road.

Exactly. It’s 5 a.m. and drugs and alcohol aren’t involved so what in the hell happened? A person is dead. How does that happen?

This article raises more questions than answers. Was Boswell literally walking “on” South Higuera Street so of LOVR? If so, why wasn’t he on the sidewalk? Or, was he crossing the street? If so, was he in the crosswalk, or jaywalking? We may never know.
