Jaywalking

Renowned urban designer Charles Atherton died last weekend of injuries he suffered after being struck by a car Thursday in Northwest Washington, authorities said yesterday.
:
...Police said that he was struck by a Toyota driven by a 31-year-old District woman after he stepped onto Connecticut Avenue about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Atherton was at fault, police said, because he tried to cross the street midblock, just south of the Uptown movie theater in the Cleveland Park area.

Atherton's family members found a $5 jaywalking ticket among his belongings when they went to the hospital.
That's now how I want to go out, or be remembered.
