One unidentified pedestrian was injured after getting struck by a passenger vehicle in Palmdale on Sunday night, September 27.

[09-27-2020] Los Angeles, CA - A Pedestrian Accident in Palmdale Leaves One Person HurtAccording to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s initial reports, the accident transpired at around 8:30 p.m. near West Avenue P and Division Street. The victim was attempting to chase a female party near the intersection when he was hit by a vehicle.

The pedestrian sustained major injuries as a result of the mishap. He was rushed to an area hospital and is currently in a stable condition. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with local authorities. He was reportedly unharmed from the crash.

Pedestrian Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the case. Pedestrians are more vulnerable to the dangers on the roadway than a passenger of a private vehicle. 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.

When facing cases like this, it’s vital to have an experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney conduct an independent probe. 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.
