Common Kinds and Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
When a driver crashes into a pedestrian, it frequently leads to injuries or fatalities. Collisions can happen in various locations, including crosswalks, intersections, and parking lots. Factors contributing to these accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield the right of way. It’s essential for both drivers and pedestrians to exercise caution and follow traffic laws to prevent accidents.
Woman Killed Crossing Street: The Importance of Pedestrian Safety
Walking is a healthy, economical, eco-friendly form of transportation, but not always safe for the walkers. On October 10, 2019, a 22-year-old woman was fatally injured while crossing the street at the intersection of 36th Street and Burlingame Avenue in Wyoming, Michigan.
Two cars collided in the intersection and one of them spun out of control, hitting Catherine Fenner at approximately 6:34 p.m. Ms. Fenner was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died from her injuries. The cause of the crash was still under investigation at the time of the report.
