Darwin in action. He "didn't hear it?"

He could have avoided that by running about 2 feet to his right.

And how is it that the steamroller driver didn't see him?

1. The article mentions that is a new “low noise” model. In other words, people have been bitching at the noise construction vehicles make, so quieter models are being designed despite the safety issues that can pose.

2. this is all in the steamroller driver. They were driving way too fast, as well.

"The machine was a modern, low noise vehicle, authorities said."

Wait till the roads are full of quiet electric cars. This will become commonplace.
