Yeah, the police officer told me he needed to charge the woman I hit in order to protect myself from getting sued from her. You just never know. He told me she could go to civil court I think, but that it wouldn't hold any merit because of the police report showing that she was charged and at fault.
She didn't actually walk in front of the car, she ran in front thinking she could make it across before I passed. I was completely caught off guard and couldn't do anything.
