The pedestrians reportedly walked outside of a crosswalk on January 12. The incident occurred about 9:41 p.m. on Geary Boulevard near Cleary Court in the city’s Western Addition neighborhood.

The 42-year-old male and 39-year-old female pedestrians were crossing south Geary with no crosswalk or lights when a vehicle struck them. According to the driver, he did not notice the pair before crashing into them, police stated.

As a result, the man sustained a head injury and broken leg with life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, the woman also sustained a broken leg and is believed to survive.

Whether you are a driver or a pedestrian, it is important to abide by all traffic laws and observe safety precautions. If you’re behind the wheel, do your part to avoid distractions and look out for pedestrians at all times. If you’re crossing the street, do so at designated crosswalks or intersections. When walking alongside a road, remain on the sidewalk wherever possible. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the shoulder and face oncoming traffic. By obeying traffic laws and being cautious of the conditions of the road, you can help prevent an unforeseen accident and keep yourself and others safe.
