One Person Suffered Fatal Injuries in Vallejo Pedestrian Collision
On Thursday, March 4, 2021, one person tragically lost his life after being injured during a Vallejo pedestrian collision. According to the Vallejo Police Department (VPD), the accident occurred in the night on the southeastern side of the city and involved a single vehicle as well as a pedestrian. The decedent was identified as a 33-year-old man, but further information has not yet been released. The accident remains under an active VPD investigation.
Crash Information
VPD reports that the accident took place just before 10:45 p.m. on Benicia Road to the west of the intersection at Cedar Street. Few details about the events that preceded the crash have been reported so far. Police indicated that the pedestrian was struck inside of the roadway but did not state whether or not the man was inside of a crosswalk or if the road was well lit.
After the crash occurred, police rushed personnel out to respond. At the site, paramedics found the man lying on the road and determined that he had been critically injured. Tragically, the pedestrian lost his life at the scene. The vehicle driver remained on-site and was reportedly uninjured during the incident.
Investigation
As VPD continues to investigate this crash, officers have indicated that they don’t suspect that either party was under the influence of any intoxicating substance. Police also noted that the driver is not suspected of driving over the speed limit. However, investigators have not reported any factors that they suspect were involved.
Additionally, VPD has urged anyone with information about this tragic accident to get in touch with investigators. Anyone looking to report what they know to investigators should contact Officer Kenneth Trimble at (707) 648-4011.
The Importance of a Private Accident Investigation
Investigating a deadly pedestrian crash can be a difficult task for police. Because they can’t get testimony from the decedent, officers involved with the investigation might overlook important evidence, leaving families unable to hold at-fault parties accountable for their losses.
In order to prevent this, it’s critical to get assistance from a Vallejo wrongful death lawyer who has experience completing private accident investigations. Your attorney can use their own resources to ensure that the crash receives a full, fair investigation that prioritizes you and your family.
