24-Year-Old Man Suffers Serious Injuries in Pacific Beach Pedestrian Accident at Grand Avenue and Fanuel Street Saturday night

Pacific Beach, California (May 18, 2020) – A pedestrian was struck and seriously injured by a vehicle late Saturday night at an intersection in Pacific Beach, according to authorities.

The pedestrian accident happened at around 11:40 p.m. on May 16 at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Fanuel Street.

Authorities said the pedestrian, a 24-year-old man, was running across the intersection on a red light when he was struck by a 2020 Ford Fusion that was heading westbound on Grand Avenue in the fast lane.

The pedestrian was transported to a local hospital with broken bones, an open chest wound and ankle fractures.  His name and current condition were not available.

The driver, a 25-year-old man, stopped at the scene and cooperated with police. Neither alcohol nor drugs 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.
