HIT BY A BICYCLE WHILE WALKING? CONTACT LOS ANGELES INJURY LAWYER
Often times, people dismiss the severity of a bicycle accident. However, bicycle accidents have the potential to be fatal especially to the elderly. When a bicycle strikes a person its wheels are usually positioned to take out a person’s legs. This causes both the bicyclist and pedestrian to fall on the ground. Unfortunately in some cases, the pedestrian might hit his or her head on the ground while falling and be severely injured. In a recent accident, a 70 year old woman was killed when a teenage bicyclist struck her.
The accident happened around 7:00 a.m in the area of Pacific Palisades. The 70 year old woman was crossing the street when it happened. Authorities are investigating if the woman suffered fatal injuries when she was struck by the bicycle or when she fell to the ground. Unfortunately, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
