Person Suffers Major Injuries in Visalia Pedestrian Accident on Highway 198 near Mooney Boulevard Off-Ramp

Visalia, California (April 5, 2020) – A traffic accident in Visalia left a pedestrian with serious injuries early Sunday morning, according to authorities.

The pedestrian accident took place at around 12:25 a.m. on Highway 198 near Mooney Boulevard exit.

Authorities said the pedestrian was on the roadway when, for unknown reasons, he or she was struck by a vehicle that was traveling on the westbound side of the highway.

The pedestrian was transported by responding paramedics to a nearby hospital with major injuries. The name and condition of the victim at this time remained undisclosed.

The number 2 lane of Highway 198 was closed following the wreck. It is undetermined if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk when the accident occurred.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

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.
