SAN ANTONIO, TX — One person has died after a pedestrian accident in San Antonio, Texas on Friday, May 2nd, 2014, according to a report from KENS5.
Authorities have said that they believe one person was killed when they were struck by a vehicle when they were walking along or trying to cross the road near the intersection of Highway 281 and Mogford Road around 9:00 Friday evening.
Scene of the Accident
One person was pronounced dead on the scene by emergency responders when they arrived.
The investigation into the accident is currently being handled by officials from the San Antonio Police Department.
Commentary:
While it always warrants a closer look, I’d be willing to venture that the pedestrian was at fault, but there could be more than we see. The driver that hit him could have been turning, which would mean the driver failed to make sure the pathway he was turning into was clear at the time of the accident, which could make the driver liable for the accident. People need to remember that pedestrians only have the right of way in parking lots and protected crosswalks, contrary to popular belief.
