> The combination of coincidences is striking
Why?
Someone decided to walk across the road, was wearing dark clothing, had an eyepatch on so he couldn't see one side of the road well, and was struck by a forklift while the operator was on the phone.
What combination of coincidences is striking? People are careless all the time.
Timing and circumstance (especially the eyepatch.) It's basically a scene out of a movie.
It's not striking because a person who wears an eye patch and has a tendency towards dark clothing is stastically more likely to be involved in an accident where seeing and being seen are important.
The original commentor found it striking.
