DANGEROUS CROSSING IN NORTHRIDGE KILLS ANOTHER PEDESTRIAN. CALL CRASH AND INJURY LAWYERS OF THE VALLEY NOW.
The area around California State University, Northridge (CSUN), is shaping up to be one of the most dangerous for pedestrians in the San Fernando Valley. A recent death is causing the city and other officials to look into changes to protect residents and students alike. In the past 6 months there have been seven pedestrian-related accidents in and around the campus. Two victims have died and others have suffered injuries including spinal injuries and severe internal bleeding. Speed, driver inattention and crowded streets are potential reasons for the spate of accidents, but investigators are looking into whether the roads are safe. If you have been hurt in a Northridge crosswalk or pedestrian accident, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and speak to a lawyer at no cost.
The most recent fatality happened when a driver turning right hit a 60-year old woman crossing the street. The victim died at the hospital. Two of the other pedestrians struck in the last half year sustained life-threatening injuries, while another died. In all there were 88 accidents in the CSUN area in 2007 and 74 in 2006. The location, also known as the Devonshire area, houses the 356-acre campus on CSU, Northridge in about 54 sq. miles. Accidents in this area are rising much faster than in neighboring locations. Flashing lights at crosswalks as well as speed digital feedback signs are being considered, but for the victims of the past years, the addition will be too late.
