El Paso, TX (December 6, 2021) – A motor vehicle accident reported on Friday evening in the El Paso area claimed one person’s life, according to local authorities. At around 9 p.m., on December 3, calls for assistance came in surrounding an auto accident on North Mesa Street.
Although details are limited at this time, reports show that a pedestrian was traveling in the area of North Mesa Street and Eubanks Court during the evening hours when they were struck by a vehicle.
The pedestrian sustained fatal injuries in the accident. Despite the best efforts of emergency crews to render aid to the victim, the pedestrian ultimately passed away from their injuries.
At this time, the circumstances surrounding the accident are under investigation.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Fatal Auto Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents in the state of Texas claim the lives of more than 700 people every year. On average, these unpredictable accidents claim the lives of around two victims every day in our state. These accidents come with no warning and have a lasting impact on families. Regrettably, the number of fatal pedestrian accidents increased roughly 8.5% between 2019 and 2020.
We see many motor vehicle accidents take place due to drivers who are speeding, running red lights, and engaging in reckless driving behaviors while operating their vehicles. Although most people are careful while traveling near roadways, we see many people harmed in accidents as a result of driver negligence. Far too many people are hurt by speeding drivers, drivers who are distracted, and those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
