According to a local news source, a pedestrian was struck by an unspecified vehicle on Saturday morning in the area of Palm Drive and 18th Avenue.

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.
