Manteca, California (February 14, 2020) – An accident on Highway 99 in Manteca killed a pedestrian Friday evening.

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.
