On a rain-lit stretch of road near Prestwich, Manchester, a woman's life ended abruptly when she was struck by a car on Bury New Road — a moment that has since drawn the full weight of the law into its aftermath. A driver now sits in custody, arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, while investigators work quietly and carefully to understand how the ordinary act of crossing a road became fatal. The incident reminds us that the boundary between accident and negligence is one society asks its courts, not chance, to define.
