A pedestrian accident took place on Easton Road in Bucks County on a recent Monday evening. The incident happened right before the Warrington Community Ambulance Corps Station, between Oxford Drive and Parks Road.
Initial information from police indicates that a Subaru Tribeca struck the person who was walking in the roadway at the time. The person died at the scene of the incident.
Pedestrian accidents are challenging because they are often fatal or cause serious injuries that last a lifetime. For families, the unknowns of what took place, why it happened, and who is responsible are all challenging to know if police do not track down the details. Having a Bucks County pedestrian accident lawyer available to you could prove vital.
Lack of Crosswalk
There was no initial information about where the pedestrian was in this accident. However, news reports indicated that the person was not in a crosswalk at the time of the accident because none existed. This may mean the driver did not see the pedestrian. However, vehicle operators are required to do all they can to avoid striking a person in the street. If they were distracted, impaired, or tired at the time of the accident, that may have slowed down their ability to stop.
