Orlando, FL (December 13, 2018) - A pedestrian died after being struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross US 192. The incident happened around 6:50 am on Thursday, December 12th.
Officials with the Florida Highway Patrol say that the unidentified male pedestrian was walking in the eastbound lanes of US 192 near Pine Grove Road. As he attempted to cross the road, he was struck by a 2018 Nissan Four Door vehicle. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. There is no information on whether he was in a crosswalk at the time he was struck or whether the driver of the vehicle remained on scene to cooperate with the police investigation.
The driver has not been identified and no further information is available.
This year, over 10,000 pedestrians will be hurt in accidents with vehicles. Pedestrian accidents take place each and every day across our state and many pedestrian accidents bring serious and sometimes fatal consequences. Pedestrian crashes tend to occur in areas with high traffic and at night or in the early morning hours when visibility for drivers and pedestrians is at its lowest point. Many pedestrian crashes could be avoided if more care was taken by drivers and pedestrians to ensure that they are not placing themselves at high risk for such accidents to occur.
