Maybe they are considering more serious charges? It's not as if a citation must be issue instantly or never. After they rule out more serious charges, I expect that if the driver is believed to be guilty of failing to yield to a pedestrian, he'll at least get a ticket for that.
Have you asked for police reports? If it's still under review, I doubt they'll release them. And, if it's still under review, that means a charging decision hasn't yet been made. If you get the police reports and they say that no citations were issued or will be issued, the narrative should be consistent with that decision. If it's not, then I suppose you have a Martin-Zimmerman type of issue. --- Robert F.
