The intersection might be less than optimally designed, but the driver was undoubtedly not paying attention. Possibly he was distracted by 22 other things, but in that case he needs to proceed with additional caution. He was obviously not watching for people crossing, or he wouldn't have struck one with his car, and then run him over.
