Anaheim Pedestrian Accident Injures Pedestrian
Anaheim, CA (November 26, 2022) – On Wednesday, a bystander sustained serious injuries following a Rio Vista Street accident.
The authorities responded to the scene in the area of South Lane where a crowd had gathered to watch a street takeover.
Apparently, a red Mustang doing donuts in the street struck before police arrived to disperse the crowd.
As another vehicle sped away, it struck a bystander who sustained a broken leg.
Officers arrested the Mustang driver and the driver who struck the bystander.
As a driver, it is your responsibility to be a proactive driver, rather than a reactive one. Moreover, driving defensively prepares you for emergencies.
If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.
