Woman Killed in Hit-And-Run Accident – Colorado Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Friday, July 30th, 2010

TheDenverChannel.com (7News) is reporting that “Pueblo police are looking for the driver of a truck that was one of two vehicles that struck a 50-year-old pedestrian who later died from her injuries.” The pedestrian, who may have been intoxicated, was hit by a Buick and then a truck while crossing the street. The driver of the Buick stopped to offer assistance, but the driver of the truck kept going. Police are fairly certain the injuries sustained by the truck are what killed the pedestrian. Police have a description of the truck and its driver from witnesses.

In the United States, a pedestrian is killed in a “traffic crash every 120 minutes and injured in a traffic crash every 8 minutes.” According to a statistic report by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Saftey Administration), nearly 4,400 pedestrians were killed in accidents involving vehicles, while 69,000 were injured. Most pedestrian accidents occurred in urban areas at non-intersection locations.

All too often pedestrian accidents result in very serious and life changing injuries or death.

A spokesman for the State Patrol is hopeful that the program will reduce fatalities caused by accidents involving big rigs.

In 2009, 31 people were killed in car-big rig accidents in Colorado. In many cases, the cause of the accidents was aggressive driving. The State Patrol believes extra attention paid to aggressive drivers will result in the overall decline of big rig accidents.

Pick-up Truck and Cement Truck Collide – Denver Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

9News is reporting that a man died this morning after his truck hit a cement truck head-on. The accident happened on Highway 56 east of Weld County Road 1. Investigators say that the pick-up truck was heading east and the cement truck heading west. Investigators are still trying to figure out why the accident happened but don’t suspect alcohol to be a factor.

When a large truck and a passenger vehicle collide, the results can be devastating. According to the “Large Truck Crash Causation” study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, when a passenger vehicle is in an accident with a tractor trailer, semi truck or an 18 wheel truck, the smaller vehicle’s passengers are more likely to be seriously injured or killed than those in the truck. The study reviewed 120,000 large truck accidents that occurred from April 2001 to December 2003. The study involved 241,000 total vehicles where injuries directly resulted from the accident finding that 44,097 crashes resulted in incapacitating injuries.
