Man Critically Injured in Oswego Car Accident

A series of serious incidents involving pedestrians occurred over the weekend, highlighting ongoing safety concerns. In Aurora, a hit-and-run crash on East Colfax Avenue left a pedestrian with serious injuries after being struck by a white or silver pickup truck, prompting police to close the westbound lanes for several hours. Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, a man suffered potentially life-threatening injuries after being hit by a vehicle and subsequently shot by an occupant of the car during an altercation. In Oswego, a 49-year-old man was critically injured when he was struck by a Toyota Prius driven by a 17-year-old girl while crossing in front of a Meijer store. Both the Minneapolis and Oswego incidents remain under investigation, with no arrests reported in the former and the latter still being assessed by police. These events underscore the urgent need for improved pedestrian safety measures in urban areas.
