Eureka, California (February 4, 2020) – Authorities said an 85-year-old man was injured when he was struck by a car Monday afternoon in Eureka.

Eureka firefighters alongside paramedics also responded to the scene.

The elderly man was hospitalized with serious injuries, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.

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.
