St. Louis Pedestrian Accident Lawyer: Third Pedestrian Death in Two Weeks
For the third time in less than two weeks, the St. Louis metro area has been the scene of a fatal pedestrian accident. The first occurred in Tower Grove Park. A woman in her 60s was walking her dog when she was struck by what the police believe was an inebriated man. He and the passenger of the car fled the scene only to be apprehended a few days later. The woman, critically injured, was rushed to the hospital and died from her injuries a few days later.
The same week, a woman walking alone in the Midtown area was struck and killed as she crossed the street. Her death was actually preceded by two other fatal pedestrian accidents this winter at the same intersection. Local residents are petitioning to have a crosswalk placed. This woman, too, was the victim of a hit and run.
This week, another St. Louis area pedestrian has died due the carelessness of our motorists. An elderly man was struck and killed Monday night as he crossed the street in Godfrey, IL. Fortunately, the driver who caused this accident stayed at the scene. Police say they suspect had no malicious motives, but simply careless driving.
