Car Kills Sacramento Pedestrian
I’m Ed Smith, a Sacramento Pedestrian Accident Attorney. We were saddened to learn of a pedestrian fatality in Sacramento county.
What Happened?
A woman was walking northbound on Walerga Road at approximately 4:45 am. A vehicle was approaching the woman from the eastbound direction in the vicinity of the intersection at Elkhorn Boulevard and Walerga Road. The driver of the vehicle could not stop in time and struck the woman. The woman was struck by a Chevy Trailblazer. According to officers from the California Highway Patrol, the Trailblazer had the right of way and the pedestrian may have been walking against a red light.
Serious Nature of Pedestrian Injuries
A pedestrian who has been in a collision with a car or truck faces a wide variety of injuries. In the majority of pedestrian vs. auto crashes, the legs, head and arms of the pedestrian are injured most severely. Some common types of pedestrian injuries are as follows:
- Head and Brain Injuries (TBI), which can sometimes lead to a coma;
- Broken and fractured bones;
- Permanent disfigurement or scarring;
- Spinal Cord Injuries, including quadriplegia or paraplegia;
- Leg, Arm, Hand or Foot amputations;
- Death
