A female Orlando pedestrian was struck by a pickup truck and severely injured as a result. The incident took place on McLeod Road in Orlando.
The Orlando Police Department was called to the scene of the accident to find the 71-year-old woman who had been hit by the vehicle. At the time, she had been on the sidewalk and the pickup drove up, traveling into her path and striking her. At this time, it is not known what caused the pickup truck to enter the sidewalk.
Troopers immediately responded and placed the woman on a life support machine due to the extent of her injuries so that she could be transported to the hospital. The crash left her with multiple life-threatening injuries.
The roadway was closed for hours while traffic workers cleared all of the debris on the roadway. The investigation into the matter continues.
