By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Fort Myers, FL (September 21, 2018) - A pedestrian died in a crash that occurred in Fort Myers on Wednesday, September 19th.  

Fort Myers Police responded to US 41 near Maravilla Avenue around 10:30 am in reference to a pedestrian vs. vehicle crash.  When they arrived, they discovered 63-year-old Ronald Bond lying in the roadway.  Bond was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street.  He suffered critical injuries and was ultimately pronounced dead.  

The northbound lanes of US 41 were closed while police investigated.  

Our thoughts and condolences are with the pedestrian's family in this tragic pedestrian accident.  Last year in Florida, approximately 10,000 pedestrians were hurt in crashes involving vehicles.  By their nature, pedestrian accidents tend to involve severe and catastrophic injuries.  Where a driver is negligent and their negligence leads to injuries, a pedestrian has a legal right to recover compensation.
