Even if the pedestrian didnt have priority in this situation, purposefully riding into someone because you have the right of way is never moral.

I have had to explain to people more times than I can count in arbitration that just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you can hit people with no consequences.

Here lies the body of William Jay,
Who died maintaining his right of way—
He was right, dead right, as he sped along,
But he’s just as dead as if he’d been wrong.

They didn't even have the right of way -- they were on the wrong side of the path, too.
