> That first video is from a section of the road where the accident did not happen. You have to go past the stop light where the first video ends to get to the section where the accident happened (second video).

You don't need the videos, the slideshow has a comparison of the exact spot on pictures 1 and 2 (you can see the shoulder bend on the right). Picture 3 (a few frames back) shows the victim was struck pretty much under the streetlight.

> One video pointed out a black splotch over the pedestrian. If you pause and the video you can easily see it. A very unusual artifact to say the least.

Standard artefact from the sensor bottoming out, as soon as you're below threshold there's literally no signal anymore.

Oh damn. Thank you for pointing out the slideshow. I hadn't really noticed it. It was in the well lighted area before the stoplight, not in the darker area afterward where the news crew was filming and comment was made on the second video.

Not only does it have brighter street lights, there are illuminated signs and parking deck lights in the background.
