Pedestrian Injured in Pacific Avenue Accident [Yuma County, CA]

Yuma County, CA (August 05, 2021) – On Wednesday, a pedestrian suffers injuries in Pacific Avenue accident.

The accident took place at about 3:30 a.m., on the railroad overpass in the 2300 block area.

Reports said a northbound tow truck struck the pedestrian who was walking on the side of the road.

As a result, the pedestrian incurred critical injuries.

Rescuers took the victim to Yuma Regional Medical Center and then transferred to a Phoenix area hospital.

Meanwhile, the officers are investigating the incident. 

Aim high in steering, i.e. don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road.

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.
