Drivers, please pay attention to the road! Distracted driving kills!

A couple days ago, my best friend started crossing at the Huron Church Road intersection by Wendy's as soon as the light turned green, and was crossing the last lane until she was at the median, when a distracted driver suddenly turned and forced my friend (who has knee problems and has had a knee surgery and is unable to run) to jump to the median, causing her knee to be sore ever since. My friend said she thinks that the driver was on her cell phone (and even if they weren't, they weren't paying proper attention, obviously) and even though my friend thought she had made eye contact and ascertained that that driver would not turn (at least not into the lane as she was crossing it), the driver did indeed turn quickly into that last lane before the median, and actually hit her purse that she had on her, which was sitting against her back. The driver turned within a foot of her, and without my friend jumping forward, she would've been hit.

Please pay attention when driving! My best friend could've been seriously hurt or worse, if she hadn't have been paying attention. :(

If you are driving, please don't let that happen to someone. Please be a responsible driver and pay attention!
