[09-24-2020] Fresno County, CA – Pedestrian Accident at Mckinley and Cedar Avenues Injure One

An unidentified male pedestrian was injured after getting struck by a vehicle in Fresno on Thursday night, September 24.

The accident transpired at around 8:00 p.m. at McKinley and Cedar Avenues. A man crossing the intersection was suddenly struck by a vehicle in the crosswalk.

The driver of the vehicle allegedly ran a red light before the collision. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with local authorities. The pedestrian sustained unspecified injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Pedestrian Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the case. They will attempt to determine the factors that may have caused the accident to occur.

Pedestrians are more vulnerable to the dangers of the roadway compared to passengers of private vehicles. Unlike passengers of private cars with airbags and seat belts to protect them, pedestrians do not have any protection that can help them avoid sustaining fatal injuries. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, approximately 6,227 pedestrians were killed in the U.S. back in 2018, a 250 increase from the previous year.

Hiring an attorney to represent you, in this case, is highly recommended. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the liable party. They can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the responsible party.
