Facts

The decedent was walking along the sidewalk on Arrow Highway in the City of San Dimas. As he was walking across a driveway, a car driven by the defendant approached the driveway from the slow lane. The defendant saw the decedent crossing and slowed to 15 mph. As she was slowing down she was rear-ended by the co-defendant. As a result of the impact, the first defendant's car was propelled forward into the decedent and he died several days later as a result of the injuries he sustained.
