Dear Peri, I am assuming this pedestrian was not beamed down onto the crossing and that, had you taken the trouble to look sooner, you might have seen them on the pavement about to step onto the crossing and adjusted your progress or made use of your horn if already too close as appropriate. 'Vision up!' as we in the driving game say here in the UK.
