The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store.

If the driver wasn’t able to respond in time to a pedestrian entering the street, particularly at a crosswalk, he was driving recklessly.
(Edit) Not a crosswalk, between two crosswalks. I maintain that inability to react to pedestrians safely in an area at least near housing constitutes reckless driving.
