That why I drive slowly in downtown, especially in crosswalk area.
 
Not drivers fault, I don't see why she needs chat with police. Video already talked, jaywalker is responsible for their injury. End of Story

Not know, I think state law or driver handbook require drivers to come out and help someone if get hit by car, even if it was jaywalker or not, and inform to LEO.

In here, not stop and not help someone that you hit = license suspension and felony charge (hit and run).

no. you are not required to help anybody but you are not supposed to leave the scene of accident if you hit someone or something.

But in my state, I'm required to help the injured person.

Failures to stop, render aid, or identify yourself in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another.

If you are involved in a traffic crash, you must stop at once and aid any injured persons. Call for medical assistance if necessary. Before the police arrive, use whatever means available to warn other traffic (flags, flares, etc).

It is dangerous to move injured persons. You should avoid moving the injured unless it is absolutely necessary to remove them from areas threatened by fire or other dangers common to a crash scene. Keep the injured lying or sitting down until competent medical aid arrives.

Apply first aid to the injured, making the persons as comfortable as pos- sible. Treat for shock. Remember that a layman can give “too much first aid.” It is wise for every motorist to become familiar with first aid treatment by enrolling in Red Cross sponsored courses or other training courses offered by groups and organizations. You may not only save another person’s life with your knowledge, but it will also make you a more safety-conscious individual.

Remember - you must STOP whenever you are involved in a crash. Give your name, address, and registration number and show your driver license to other persons involved. This applies to any type of accident.
