This summer I was stopped at a crosswalk with the flashing lights on a 4 lane undivided street. A couple kids on scooters crossed, and as they were off the road I looked to my right and another kid on an E scooter with Headphones on approaches and goes right into the crosswalk without hesitation at full speed. I look to my left and the car beside me is starting to go. I blared on my horn with stopped that guy and startled the he'll out of this kid not knowing what else to do as neither one appeared to be aware of the other. Old guy next to me starts yelling at the kid and kid gives me the business for probably making him soil his loins.
In that case it's probably the motorist who didn't check that the crosswalk was completely clear before proceeding whos at fault. But the pedestrian has an obligation to make sure that they don't enter the crosswalk without being noticed. So I can see how something like this can happen.
