2 Pedestrians Injured in Traffic Crash on Foothill Road Near Carpinteria High School

Carpinteria, California (February 14, 2020) – The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the cause of a pedestrian accident that happened near Carpinteria High School along Foothill Road on Thursday morning.

According to a local news source, two pedestrians were hit by a Toyota sedan near the location of 4810 Foothill Road at about 7:47 a.m.

Deputies responded to the scene shortly after the wreck and found two people awake and alert, suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. The two patients were transported to a local hospital for further treatment.

The involved driver, who was not hurt following the mishap, stopped and cooperated with the investigation.

Neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected factors in the accident. An investigation into the crash is underway.

 A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
