Because drugs have side effects, which may have contributed to why she put herself in the position to be hit by a car that she probably should have seen.

But in this case we don't have to wonder about the circumstances; we know where the car and the pedestrian were and exactly what happened. Thus going into the toxicology report serves no real purpose other than unfairly casting aspersions on the person killed.

All of these reports take into account the intoxication of any parties involved. Not sure why it’s unfair to point out that the person illegally in the road was in a state that contributed to the accident. It’s not like she was just standing on the sidewalk minding her own business.

How did her "state" materially contribute to the accident?
Looking at the video it's clear that at least some evasive action could have been taken by an attentive driver; at the least it should have been possible to hit the pedestrian at a lower speed. This article claims the car had six seconds to react (although I'm not sure what sense that's based on) and that the crash was avoidable if the operator had been paying attention, according to police.
