Two pedestrians lost their lives after a vehicle struck them in Whitpain Township, PA. A third person suffered injuries. The accident took place at the Butler Pike and Skippack Pike intersection, though police released very few other details about the incident.
Pedestrians are at high risk of suffering serious injuries when fast-moving vehicles, often driven by distracted drivers, plow into them. This is an example of how critical it is for drivers to pay close attention to the roadways. When you are the victim of negligence, seek help from an experienced pedestrian accident attorney in Pennsylvania.
Three Elderly Women Suffer Serious Losses After Hit By Car
The police initially did not release information about what caused the accident. They noted that a single driver struck three women. The women, who were 79 years of age and older, were struck at around 6:30 p.m. on a Tuesday evening.
Pedestrian accidents are often the fault of the driver. Some situations do not apply, such as if a person suddenly enters the roadway, not giving the driver time to stop. In this situation, and many like it, the driver is likely to have had time to see and stop before striking the individuals but failed to do so.
