LENEXA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a pickup truck driver has left the scene of a suburban Kansas City crash that killed a 19-year-old pedestrian from Ohio.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the driver was headed southbound around 5:50 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 35 in Lenexa and attempted to cut through a gore area to get to the U.S. 69 ramp. The patrol says Steven Henderson Schuster of Pataskala, Ohio, was struck and killed in the gore area.

The driver didn't stop. The patrol said the truck was a Toyota.

If you think that the drivers will pay attention to you when you walk or jog or cycle, then you must think again.   

Pedestrian and cyclist deaths have hit a four year high across the United States.  You need to be extra cautious out there and do not expect that the drivers will obey any traffic signs, pedestrian lanes and so on.  This advice may save your life one day.
