AMARILLO, TX — A road accident sent two pedestrians to the hospital in Amarillo, Texas on Friday, June 6th, 2014, according to a news report from The Amarillo Globe.
Police say that they think a 39-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man were hurt when an SUV struck them while they were walking along or trying to cross East Amarillo Boulevard in the 3600 block on Friday.
Scene of the Accident
Both victims were taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries.
The driver of the SUV was immediately unhurt in the accident.
Commentary:
Considering that the news report is essentially barren on details in the accident, I can say that the vast majority of pedestrian accidents generally come down to the victim’s positioning in the road at the time of the accident. If the victim was in a marked crosswalk, parking lot, sidewalk, or designated bike/pedestrian lane, then the vehicle that hit them in these spots would more than likely bear the liability in this accident, but again, it depends heavily on facts I do not have.
