Multiple Pedestrian Injuries Reported Across California, West Virginia

A series of pedestrian accidents across the U.S. has highlighted ongoing concerns about driver negligence and pedestrian safety. In Fresno, CA, a woman remains in critical condition following a hit-and-run incident involving a red pickup truck that fled the scene after striking her on Belmont Avenue. Meanwhile, in Huntington, WV, a 26-year-old woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle while crossing in a marked crosswalk; the driver has since been cited for failing to yield. In Surf City, NC, an 80-year-old woman was seriously injured when her own vehicle ran over her in a parking lot incident after she exited the car without shifting it into park. In Sacramento, CA, another pedestrian was injured late Sunday night at the intersection of Grandstaff Drive and Valley Hi Drive, with the circumstances of the incident still under investigation. These incidents underscore the critical need for drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws to protect pedestrians.
