Ashlan Avenue Pedestrian Accident Injures Child [Fresno, CA]

Fresno, CA (December 9, 2022) – On Wednesday, a 5-year-old child sustained injuries following an Ashlan Avenue pedestrian accident.

The traffic accident took place at about 7:30 p.m. at the intersection with West Avenue.

Reports say the victim was with their mother and another child in a stroller at the time of the traffic accident. The family was crossing against a crossing sign when the child was struck.

Right away, the paramedics rushed the seriously injured child to a hospital while the mother and the other child did not sustain injuries.

Moreover, the driver of the involved vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with the officers‘ investigation.

It is critical to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road as it keeps us and everyone around us safe as we travel to our destination.

Meanwhile, according to the NHTSA, most pedestrian accidents are caused by poor visibility.

So, as pedestrians, wearing bright clothing, using the crosswalk, and using a flashlight at night are just some of the steps we can do to avoid accidents.
