It is a campus tradition that students cross the street anytime & anywhere they damned well please. I did it myself when I was a student. Accident was unfortunate. Drivers just have to beware.
If the driver hit a pedestrian turning left, it's likely the pedestrian was crossing with the light and had the right of way.
I'd wonder whether the driver was paying full attention to the road. Perhaps a check of mobile/phone records might be in order here?
