A 44-year old Riverside woman was killed after being hit by not one, but two vehicles while crossing a busy road the other evening. It is unclear if she was crossing in a marked crosswalk.
First, she was hit by a motorcycle. Minutes later a vehicle hit her. She sustained fatal injuries. The motorcyclist suffered scrapes, bruises and a few broken bones.
According to California Vehicle Code Section 21954, “Every pedestrian upon a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway so near as to constitute an immediate hazard.”
Officials are investigating what caused this fatal accident; however, no arrests have been made.
If a loved one in your family is killed because of another person’s negligence, contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who can file a wrongful death lawsuit on your behalf – seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses and all other related damages.
