I liken it more to driving through a road construction crew. You decide to through faster than the other cars in front of you, as well as driving closer to the the cones. One of the construction crew is on foot past the cones and the three cars in front of you manage to avoid him since they're keeping distance and going slow enough to allow for more reaction time. One driver going fast and close, nearly hits the worker, but he gets away with it, just barely. Then comes your turn and you're not as lucky -- since you're still too close and going too fast, there's no margin of error and you both collide and the worker dies.

The real question now: as you were driving through the road construction zone, did you see that a worker was out in front of the cone as you were approaching? Important question because highway surveillance shows you turning towards the cone rather than away from it...
