Pedestrian Accidents

It is common knowledge that car accidents can be devastating, both financially and emotionally. This is especially true when a person is killed in such a collision. Though many are able to survive major car accidents, pedestrians are rarely so fortunate. Tragically, a young boy from Massachusetts was recently killed after being hit by a car. Officials said that the crash happened after the boy had come home from school. He was standing outside his house when he was struck by a vehicle. The events leading up to the crash are still unclear and the ultimate cause has yet to be…

Some motor vehicle accidents can be trivial. When pedestrians are involved, however, collisions are often much more dangerous and result in serious injuries. One Massachusetts pedestrian is lucky to be alive after getting hurt in a recent crash. According to police, the driver was traveling south in the left lane when his vehicle hit the victim. Reports show that the pedestrian came into contact with the hood and lower windshield of the car. The force of the impact sent the victim airborne, where he then landed in the northbound lane. Further details of the accident have not yet been released. The victim reportedly suffered…

Car accidents involving pedestrians rarely produce favorable results. Many pedestrians tragically suffer severe injuries or even death when hit by a car. One young boy was injured and another killed in a recent accident in Massachusetts. According to police, the two boys were crossing the street at the time of the collision. As they crossed, they were struck by a car. Authorities reported that the driver of that vehicle fled the scene following the accident. Police are currently still investigating the events leading up to the crash. After being taken to the hospital, one of the boys sadly passed away…

Car accidents can often lead to property damage and injury for those involved. When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the outcome may be more severe. Three pedestrians are lucky to be alive after being injured in one such collision in Massachusetts. According to authorities, a woman in an SUV was attempting to leave a parking space when the accident occurred. Two pedestrians were crossing the street at the time. For reasons that are still unclear, the driver suddenly accelerated backwards, hitting the couple and a man walking on the sidewalk. The driver then attempted to move forward, running over two…

Massachusetts residents should not have to worry about their safety when walking in a city. However, pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate reality that often cause serious injuries for those involved. One man was recently injured in such an accident at the hands of an alleged drunk driver. Police stated that the victim had paused at the curb and was attempting to cross the street when the incident occurred.  An SUV operated by a woman struck him as he crossed. Reports say that she stopped briefly before pulling into a nearby parking lot. Officials then allege that she got out and threw two small…

A recent Massachusetts accident happened at a taxi stand. The pedestrian accident occurred right outside of Logan Airport. Reportedly, two of the victims remain in critical condition. In total, 10 were injured. A taxi driver apparently lost control of his vehicle. At first, the crash was thought to have been a terroristic attack, though authorities later concluded that the crash was an accident. In fact, the driver had yelled to passers-by that he was unable to stop his vehicle just prior to the crash. The cab driver now faces criminal charges and his cabbie's license has been revoked indefinitely. This will mean that he will…

Walking along a busy roadway should be a safe and easy part of any pedestrians day in Massachusetts. However, in some cases, that safety can be shattered when a car smashes into those walking along. This is what happened recently to a group of three people that were involved in a pedestrian accident. A report about the pedestrian accident that was filed just after the crash tells the story of three people who were walking on a road in Massachusetts on an early summer evening. The trio, for reasons that are as yet unclear, were struck by a driver who was…

A tragic accident has left police searching for the motor vehicle involved, according to local sources. Massachusetts police investigating the pedestrian accident are calling it a hit-and-run since the driver did not stop to render aid. The accident resulted in the death of a 3-year-old child in Milford. The accident report is incomplete at this time, but it has been confirmed that the child was attending an Easter party with his family on the afternoon of April 16. For reasons that have not yet been determined, the boy left the yard and wandered into the street, whereupon he was struck by a…

During the early evening hours, Massachusetts roadways are filled with cars whose drivers are traveling home from work or out running last minute errands. At the same time, pedestrians are walking alongside these roads and even crossing the roadways. When the pedestrian crosses at the appropriate intersection, he or she must walk under the assumption that drivers will respect their right to cross and that a pedestrian accident will not occur. Earlier in December, a 62-year-old wife was struck as she was crossing the road at an intersection. Rather than stopping to make sure that the woman was okay, the driver left…
