Pedestrian Injured in Buffalo Gap Road Accident [Abilene, TX]

Abilene, TX (March 12, 2024) – A pedestrian sustained injuries following a Buffalo Gap Road accident Monday night.

It was past 9:00 p.m. when the pedestrian was hit by a vehicle in the 7200 block area.

Troopers said the victim was grazed by the vehicle, resulting in minor injuries.

Start by inspecting your vehicle’s headlights and turn signals. Ensure the front and rear headlamps are working properly and visible from a few yards away.  

Read your tire pressure to maintain the recommended pressure. In addition, check underneath your vehicle for leaks and loose objects.

You should always stay focused while on the road. Remove all distractions that could cause accidents, such as mobile phone use and unrestrained toddlers.

It is important to pay attention to your surroundings whenever you are driving. Furthermore, abiding by all the driving laws and following all the road signs are simple ways to practice defensive driving. Defensive driving can also lessen the chance of serious road accidents.

Always practice safe and defensive driving. This will ensure your safety and the safety of other motorists and pedestrians on the road.
