Yucca Valley Woman Killed Crossing the Street
November 10, 2011
A Yucca Valley, California, woman was killed Monday night as she attempted to walk across a busy highway and was struck by three vehicles. According to KESQ News, police are searching for the driver of the third vehicle who fled the scene.
Authorities say the accident happened at around 6:40 in the evening on State Route 62. They believe the incident happened when the woman in dark clothing walked out in front of a car driven by a Rancho Mirage resident. The driver did not have time to stop, and accidentally hit the woman. By the time paramedics arrived, the 54-year-old female had died at the scene.
Witnesses reported that after the initial impact, two other vehicles struck the woman as she lay in the road. The driver of the second vehicle stopped; however, the driver of the third vehicle fled the scene. Police are now asking for any assistance they can get from the public to track the driver down. They say anyone with any information is asked to call the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department at (760) 366-4175.
The California Car Accident Lawyers at the Walter Clark Legal Group would like to take this opportunity to remind pedestrians that it’s darker outside much earlier since the time change and urge you to dress in light colored or reflective clothing when walking or running on streets after dark. It may also be of benefit to carry a small flashlight or headlamp with you to improve your visibility for drivers.
