Pedestrian Accidents

Unfortunately, the drivers of motor vehicles can sometimes forget that they are not the only ones on or near the road. This can create very dangerous situations for those who are not in a car when drivers are not more careful. The injuries that often follow these situations can be very severe, and can be worse than that of a car accident. A pedestrian accident occurred in Massachusetts recently that injured one man. The crash occurred around 6:45 p.m. when a man in dark clothing was struck by a car. The weather conditions were less than helpful as it was raining that…

Roads can be dangerous for those who are securely in a vehicle, but for pedestrians who have no protection surrounding them, the risk is greatly increased. The negligence of those who operate a motor vehicle on public roads can sometimes have tragic outcomes that can end in the injury or even death of other persons. Unfortunately, a pedestrian accident in Massachusetts recently injured a woman. Authorities indicate that an unidentified vehicle hit a 42-year-old woman on Nov. 8 around 11 p.m. State Troopers found the woman lying beside the road soon after the occurrence was called in. The car that hit the…

The victim of a pedestrian accident can often be left with physical injuries or even killed, but the unseen emotional scars that the victim or family can be left with are much more demoralizing. That emotional pain can be amplified if the person who caused the accident does not stop, but instead drives away and leaves the victim there to die. Unfortunately, one such pedestrian accident in Massachusetts recently took the life of one person and left another injured. The accident occurred on Oct. 29 when a man struck the two victims with his sport utility vehicle and then proceeded to drive…

Car accidents that involve multiple cars can quickly increase in their level of severity each time a new car becomes involved. With each additional vehicle, the chance of someone else receiving serious injuries or being killed increases drastically. Multi-car accidents that involve pedestrians can become even more serious, as the lack of protection for the pedestrian can often leave him or her with seriously injured. A very recent pedestrian accident in Massachusetts injured two people. The accident happened around 7 a.m. on Oct. 18., and Boston police arrived soon after. Initial reports claimed that three different motor vehicles had been involved in…

Accidents involving pedestrians are not as common as accidents between motor vehicles, but they can often be much more severe. Drivers sometimes forget about pedestrians, which can create very dangerous situations for all parties involved. Pedestrians are very vulnerable in these situations, and can many times be left with serious injuries or even loss of life. A woman from Massachusetts was seriously injured recently in a pedestrian accident. The woman was hit by a car around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 16. She was trying to cross the road near an intersection at the time of the accident. Following the incident, she…

Pedestrians have no protection to shield them when they are hit by a vehicle, and this can lead to serious injury. Drivers often forget that pedestrians have the right of way. They need to give pedestrians ample room to be certain that a serious situation does not occur. However, it is sometime too easy for drivers to ignore pedestrians and their actions. Unfortunately, a homeless man was recently injured in Massachusetts when he was involved in a pedestrian accident with a minivan. The homeless man was struck by a minivan on Oct. 5 and was then transported to the hospital with injuries.…

Motor vehicle drivers often forget that pedestrians have the right of way. This can often lead to negligence on the part of the driver and sometimes lead to an accident between the driver and the pedestrian. These types of accidents can often leave the pedestrian with severe or even fatal injuries. Unfortunately, one such pedestrian accident in Massachusetts killed a man recently. A Massachusetts resident was struck by a car on Sept. 28 at around 8:30 p.m. when he attempted to cross the street. The man was 52 years old. Police responded soon after the accident occurred, but he was unresponsive when…

Children are tragically killed in car accidents every year. After a serious accident, a child will likely have more serious injuries than an adult. Modern society has tried to enforce safety precautions to keep children safer, but unfortunately, young people are still involved in accidents that can be very serious. One such accident occurred recently in Massachusetts when a young boy was killed in a pedestrian accident. The accident occurred on Sept. 18 when a vehicle operated by a young driver struck a 13-year-old boy and killed him. The accident happened almost a mile away from the schools that the boy…

Routine actions such as walking a dog or jogging can turn deadly if a negligent driver makes a serious mistake. Parks, for people and for dogs, can allow people to get off of busy streets and decrease the chances that a pedestrian accident will occur. Unfortunately a pedestrian in Massachusetts was recently killed while walking his dog when he was hit by a car on a local roadway. On Sept. 2, a man in his early 70s and his dog were struck by a car. The driver of the car was a 17-year-old male. The dog died at the location of the…

Pedestrian accidents are often horrific and violent, and sometimes even fatal. A life can change in mere seconds, particularly when a motor vehicle is involved. Unfortunately a pedestrian accident took the life of an elderly woman recently in Massachusetts. On Aug. 21 a car operated by an 81-year-old man veered into oncoming traffic in Ludlow shortly before 9 a.m. It struck another car and proceeded onto the sidewalk, hitting and killing an 86-year-old woman. According to police, the woman was dragged by the car until the vehicle finally hit a pole and came to a stop. Bystanders then tried to perform emergency…
