Woman Standing in Front of School Hit by Car

A silver PT Cruiser struck a pick up truck and then a pedestrian in front of an Anaheim school early this morning.  The accident, which occurred around 6:30 a.m., took place near the intersection of Palm Lane and Laora Street in front of Pine Lane Elementary after the Cruiser struck a parked silver Toyota Tacoma.  It glanced off the vehicle before hitting the female pedestrian.  The driver, who was also a woman, was not harmed in the crash.

The pedestrian was taken to a local area hospital but her injuries were minor.  Authorities believe that impacting the truck slowed the PT Cruiser down enough so that the woman’s injuries were less severe.

As we all know,  many accidents are the result of inattentiveness and driver distraction.  An investigation can rule out other incidentals and paint a clearer picture of the events that transpired.  If the female driver is found negligent, the pedestrian can file a personal injury claim against her.
