Pedestrian Accidents In and Around Virginia Highlight Safety Issues

While police are still trying to determine the specific cause of a serious pedestrian accident near the border of Virginia, one thing is certain: when a car hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian loses.

The latest area pedestrian accident occurred just over the state border in Washington, DC. The pedestrian was seriously injured when a vehicle struck him near the 14th Street Bridge. Police report that the accident occurred at approximately 6:45 a.m. The accident scene remained open for more than three hours, with all southbound lanes of 14th street closed for the duration. Traffic was backed up from the crash site all the way into Virginia.

This was not the only recent car accident involving a pedestrian. A few weeks ago, a child was hit by a car in front of Boyce Elementary School in Boyce, VA. The accident occurred when a child ran into the street and was hit by a car. While police determined no fault on the part of the driver, the accident underscores the importance of obeying the slower school zone speed limit and always driving with heightened awareness when near a school.

The Norfolk pedestrian accident attorneys at Tavss Fletcher hope that the injured pedestrians, adult and child alike, are on their way to making a full recovery from their injuries.
