Probably the best point I've seen made by this. Humans are not computers and will do illogical things like jay walk across busy streets. Can't say I know the details for this particular situation, but many times a driver will see the telltale signs that someone is about to run across the street before it happens.

Hazard perception is actually a part of the driving test in the UK. They make candidates sit in front of a computer, watch clips of situations and click the mouse when they think there's a dangerous situation developing.
