San Antonio, TX (October 29, 2021) – One person has lost their life following a pedestrian accident on the West Side of San Antonio on Wednesday evening, October 27.
At around 9:40 p.m., a pedestrian was traveling near the northbound side of Bandera Road when they were struck by a pickup truck with an extended cab. The impact of the crash caused the pedestrian to be thrown into the southbound lanes near Sherril Brook Road.
After landing in the road, the pedestrian was struck by a 2014 Kia Soul.
The victim, identified as an adult male, suffered severe injuries in the accident. EMS responded to the scene to treat the victim. However, he was declared deceased due to his injuries.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the man who lost his life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents often end in far more severe injuries for victims than standard vehicle collisions. The fact that these victims lack adequate protection means they are left vulnerable to the impact of vehicles, which can weigh several thousands of pounds. Regrettably, more than 700 people end up passing away as a result of pedestrian accidents in our state every year.
Many pedestrian accidents involve some form of negligence. We often see people lose their lives in motor vehicle collisions caused by drivers who are speeding, distracted, impaired by drugs or alcohol, or engaging in other acts of negligence.
These acts of negligence continue to impact the lives of countless people every day. Dealing with medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost wages only make the grieving process more challenging for surviving relatives. In some cases, families can work with wrongful death lawyers in Austin who can fight to get them justice.
