Tragic Crash on East State Highway 287 Killed 1 Person [Midlothian, TX]

 48-Year-Old Male Pedestrian Dies After Crash on East State Highway 287 in Midlothian

Midlothian, TX (July 25, 2024) – On Thursday, a 48-year-old male pedestrian died in a crash on East State Highway 287.

At approximately 12:21 PM today, officers from the Midlothian Police Department responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the 1400 block of southbound East State Highway 287. 

Upon arrival, officers found a male pedestrian lying on the roadway and observed a gray Ford F-150 pickup with significant front-end damage. 

Witnesses, including the driver of the pickup, stated that the pedestrian had been standing in the center median of Highway 287 near the Midlothian Parkway bridge before suddenly jumping in front of the moving vehicle. 

This left the driver unable to avoid the collision.

The 48-year-old male pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers, accompanied by a Chaplain, are notifying the deceased’s family. 

The investigation is ongoing, and no criminal charges have been filed.

Southbound State Highway 287 was closed for about two hours, and the Midlothian Parkway bridge was closed for several minutes. 

All roadways have since been reopened.
