19-Year-Old Woman Hospitalized after San Diego Pedestrian Accident at Mira Mesa Boulevard and Reagan Road
San Diego, California (March 9, 2020) – A woman was injured in an auto-pedestrian accident on Sunday night in San Diego, according to police.
The crash happened at about 9:30 p.m., on March 8, at the intersection of Mira Mesa Boulevard and Reagan Road near the Mira Mesa Mall.
The police said a 2015 Honda Accord, driven by a 33-year-old man, was traveling westbound on a green light when it struck a 19-year-old woman who was crossing northbound.
Following the accident, the woman was hospitalized with a right femur fracture.
The involved driver stopped at the scene and cooperated with the police.
Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the crash.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
A person on foot is no match for a vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death. “Due to the incredibly serious nature of these types of injuries, pedestrian accident cases often require special care in order to help ensure victims receive the full compensation they need for extensive medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation therapy, in-home care, lost past and future earnings, and numerous other economic and non-economic damages”, Said Arin Khodaverdian, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.
Arin noted that pedestrians, in most instances, have the right-of-way when crossing a street or an intersection. According to Arin, to properly investigate a pedestrian crash and prove negligence, enough resources are required. “A skilled attorney has the resources and will help investigate the accident to determine the party at fault,” Arin said
