The worst case-senario could have been much worse eg. school kids crossing the road. I bet then the 'blinded by rain' excuse wouldn't pass for police not to investigate or fine.
If the pedestrian was at fault then a fine for jay-walking should apply and any repairs to the car should be paid by them. This is a case of negligence - either the motorist or pedestrian screwed-up and be made accountable

What is the relative value of school kids vs people from the Bronx?

If you're blinded by rain, then you stop and pull over - The driver should be fined and charged for dangerous driving; imagine if it was school kids crossing the road and it was a red light - would the drivers excuse still apply ?
