    San Diego, CA (August 12, 2023) A pedestrian was hit by a 1999 Toyota Camry in an East Village neighborhood underground parking garage Friday night. San Diego Police Officers were called to the scene at approximately 8:36 p.m.

    The accident happened in the 1000 block of Park Boulevard. San Diego Police Officers discovered that a 47-year-old man had been walking in the parking garage when he stumbled and fell down the driveway. The driveway of the parking garage is located at 1000 11th Avenue.

    A 38-year-old man was driving a Toyota Camry and made a right turn into the parking garage. Officer Robert Heims said the driver couldn’t see the pedestrian and drove over him. The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries where he was later pronounced dead.

    Alcohol and drugs were not a factor in this collision, according to police. The accident is being investigated by the San Diego Police Department’s Traffic Division.

    Liability In San Diego Pedestrian Accidents

    Thousands of pedestrians are killed or seriously injured every year in pedestrian accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “An estimated 137,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal crash-related injuries in 2017. Per trip, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash.” There are a number of factors that could lead to a pedestrian collision including:

    • Speeding
    • Drunk driving
    • Driver distraction
    • Inclement weather

    All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid hitting pedestrians. The family of any victim that died in a pedestrian collision may have legal recourse through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering. A wrongful death attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
