A pedestrian is no match for a vehicle. At about 8:30 p.m., a person was struck by a vehicle on White Horse Pike in South Jersey. Though initial reports did not provide insight into what happened or the accident’s outcome, the vehicle was damaged.
Pedestrian accidents may be the fault of the person walking if they dart out into traffic. However, many of these cases are preventable if the driver is paying attention. Drivers are required to do everything they can to limit an accident with a pedestrian, and failing to do so can be fatal.
Limited Insight Into What Occurred Here
Police released little information about the accident, which occurred in the 200 block of White Horse Pike in Lawnside. Reports on the scene stated that the car’s windshield had obvious damage, and multiple first responders were at the scene within minutes. No word was provided on either party’s injuries.
