Orangevale, California (April 12, 2020) –  A person was hit and killed by a vehicle  Friday morning in Orangevale, said the authorities.

The deadly accident was reported at about 6:15 a.m., on April 10, at Hazel and Oak avenues.

Shawn Williams, 13, of Orangevale, was struck by a vehicle while he was crossing the roadway. The reasons that led to the crash were yet to be established, according to the officials.

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.
