I'm having a hard time picturing how all these witness acounts fit together.

The only new information of note in the latest article is that a witness claims that the incident occurred after Stallworth tried to beat a red light by going around a vehicle that already had stopped at the light.

According to the report, Stallworth told officers he flashed his lights to try to warn 59-year-old Mario Reyes, a construction crane operator who was rushing to catch a bus after getting off work around 7:15 a.m. March 14.
Police said Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.
A police diagram shows that Reyes was hit in the far left lane of the six-lane MacArthur Causeway -- not in a nearby crosswalk. Stallworth stopped a few feet away.

Here are some questions that the witness accounts haven't answered.
1. How Stallworth's Bentley can decelerate from 50 mph plus to stop just a few feet away from the scene of an accident.
2. On which side of the nearby crosswalk did the pedestrian get hit? Inside the intersection or before entering the intersection/cross walk. Seems like if he was hit within the intersection as the first witness account seems to imply, Stallworth's attorneys will lose some leverage.
3. How flashing lights at a pedestrian reduces driver liability.
