Elderly Woman Suffers Major Injuries in Alameda Pedestrian Accident at Encinal Avenue and Walnut Street

Alameda, California (February 11, 2019) – An elderly woman was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after being hit by a vehicle in Alameda, authorities said.

At about 1:24 p.m., the authorities received a report regarding a pedestrian crash in the area of Encinal Avenue and Walnut Street.

Authorities said the woman was struck by a minivan while she was walking across the road in a designated crosswalk.

The woman suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital.

The driver involved remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigators.

Police closed the intersection of Encinal Avenue and Walnut Street following 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.
