Whittier Pedestrian Accident Kills Woman

A Whittier pedestrian was hit while attempting to cross a street Friday morning. The woman suffered injuries as a result of the pedestrian accident, which ended fatal as she died later in the day. The pedestrian accident occurred at around 6:30 on Beaty Avenue, where the woman is reported to have been hit by a pickup truck. The driver that struck the unnamed Whittier pedestrian did not suffer injuries in the pedestrian accident.

Investigation of this case is ongoing, but the case could have legal ramifications if the accident is determined to have been caused by negligent driving. As a pedestrian, the law applies equally from both sides of the spectrum – pedestrians must follow the law but they are protected by it as well.

While many automobile drivers use extreme caution and obey traffic laws, there are instances where drivers do not pay the proper attention or are distracted. The intersection which this accident took place is a large four-way intersection with many turning lanes and signals.

While details of this crosswalk and pedestrian accident are not yet disclosed, a complete investigation must be taken to determine the factors and causes of this tragic crash. The crash occurred just after 5:30am.

If you have been seriously injured in a crosswalk accident or you have lost a loved one due to a pedestrian accident, you must speak with an experienced pedestrian personal injury lawyer immediately. You have legal rights which must be protected. Don’t let the insurance company take advantage of you.
