Licensed drivers are responsible for being in control of their vehicle at all times. This WAS most likely avoidable.

Unlessyou were there and saw it dont assume it was avoidable. So many possibilities, did he stumble into the roadway, have a medical emergency no one knows thats why he police investigate, its not for their health.

My only comment is why do you have to cross the road for your mail, I think the mail boxes should be on the side of the road you live on.
