DOTs refer to beg buttons as "pedestrian push buttons" or "APS buttons", but you can call them beg buttons. Or a different word that starts with b.

Not "has died" - "was killed".
It's fair to assume the two incidents (her being hit by a car, and dying) are related, so the headline/lede should reflect that.

In normal times, there would be a strong push on the right in the U.S. now to support Ukraine and to ‘finish the job the Reagan started’, and weaken Russia to remove any future threat. The fact nobody in the Republican Party is making the case for this, tells you all you need to know.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

The last time I was put in hospital with serious injuries I was hit by a driver in the middle of the day, overcast but bright, so no sun-glare. I was directly in front of them crossing a junction. I had priority. They just drove straight through me.
