VANCOUVER, WA (June 16, 2020) – Saturday night, Rachel Casper died in a pedestrian crash on 139th Street.

The 911 caller revealed that a vehicle hit her daughter.
 
Upon the first responders’ arrival, they located 28-year-old Rachel Casper down in the front yard of her home. Unfortunately, despite the life-saving efforts, Casper succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
 
The witnesses revealed that the vehicle hit Rachel Casper while she and her father prepared to walk to a neighbor’s house.

The Increase of Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in the US

 
In 2017 there were 5,977 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes in the United States.
 
On average, a pedestrian was killed every 88 minutes in traffic crashes. That is more than 16 people a day, almost 115 people a week.
 
While car accidents are far more common than pedestrian accidents, there is still reason to be wary when traveling on foot.
 
“Pedestrian accidents do not occur as much as motor vehicle accidents. But the pedestrian accidents tend to include more serious injuries,” says Tyler Toomey, a practicing attorney at Sweet Lawyers.
