San Diego Pedestrian Hit by Car While Crossing Linda Vista Road

By Ross Jurewitz

On March 17, just before 7:30 a.m., an 82-year-old San Diego pedestrian was struck crossing Kramer Street in the Linda Vista area of San Diego. 21-year-old eastbound driver said that at the time of the car accident the sun was in her eyes and did not see the pedestrian crossing. The San Diego Police Department reported that the pedestrian, who was in the crosswalk when he was hit, was taken to the hospital for treatment of "very critical", possibly life threatening, injuries.

When driving during the day, especially during sunrise and sunset, San Diego drivers should make sure to wear sunglasses. They will not only protect the eyes from UV rays but they will make the glare less powerful and give them more visibility, making them safer drivers.

If you or someone you know has ever been injured or killed while walking across the street, please contact the San Diego pedestrian accident attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group at 619-233-5020 or contact them online.
