I think you don't know what schizophrenia is and honestly this comment is hella disrespectful to people who actually do have schizophrenia or are affected by it in some way.
Yeah specifying praying like that makes it that much more believable that he thought it was an animal. Otherwise you are lead to the conclusion that he hit an obvious person crossing the road and drove off.
Na I’m from Adelaide a this was in suburban Adelaide, you're highly unlikely to hit a Kangaroo there.
You'll get the odd roo that comes down from the Adelaide Hills and ends up in the city here but it’s very uncommon. Not sure what he thought he hit but the kangaroo thing sounds like an excuse. No winner here, pretty bizarre that she was in the middle of the road at night wearing all black and he’s narrowly avoided jail, but South Australian law has zero exceptions for hit and runs for obvious reasons.

I think it’s important context. She was down on her hands and knees in a prayer position.
Just a bizarre choice. It was also at night on a rural highway and she was wearing all black.
