Pensacola, FL - Pedestrian Killed in Crash, Driver Charged with DUI
By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post
Pensacola, FL (September 21, 2018) - A deadly pedestrian crash occurred in Pensacola on Thursday, September 21st. The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the accident scene at Blue Angel Parkway near Grand Bahama Drive.
According to the FHP, a pedestrian ran across the road and was struck by one vehicle before being run over by a second. The pedestrian, who has not been identified, died at the crash scene. Police arrested Tyler Allen Simpson, 25, and charged him with DUI and possession of marijuana paraphernalia. There is no word on whether additional charges are forthcoming.
Simpson is in the Escambia County Jail on a $2,500.00 bond.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the pedestrian killed in this crash. Each year, over 500 pedestrians die in crashes on Florida streets and highways. In this case, it remains to be seen Tyler Simpson will face additional charges relating to the pedestrian's death.
Almost 10,000 pedestrians were injured in accident crashes last year When a pedestrian is killed due to the negligence of a driver, the pedestrian's surviving family may bring a claim for wrongful death. Such claims must be brought within two years of the date of death.
