According to police, the pedestrian was walking to work and attempted to cross the road. The pedestrian was walking near a curve. At that time, a car came around the curve and hit the pedestrian.

Each year, about 10,000 pedestrians are injured in traffic crashes. Many pedestrian accidents take place along poorly-lit roadways, at night or in the early morning hours as we see in this Jacksonville pedestrian accident. Police will have to determine if this was an avoidable crash and whether the driver should ultimately be held responsible for the injuries sustained by this pedestrian.
