Wynnhaven Beach, FL (November 14, 2018) - A 27 year old pedestrian was killed while crossing the road in Wynnhaven Beach on Monday, November 12th.

Around 11:00 pm, Loren Mallinger was walking on US 98 when she attempted to cross the road.  As she was walking across, she was struck by a Ford Excursion.  The Excursion driver is identified as 28 year old Joseph Sewell.  Sewell, of Fort Walton Beach, struck Mallinger and pushed her into the median. Mallinger died at the scene.  

Florida Highway Patrol is currently investigating the crash.  Charges are pending against Sewell at this time.

About two pedestrians are killed each day in Florida.  A fatal pedestrian accident often occurs at night or at times when visibility is poor.  The driver or the pedestrian may also be distracted, impaired or other factors which result in the crash occurring.  Any time a pedestrian accident occurs, police will undertake a complete investigation to determine the cause and responsibility for the crash.
