Sherman, TX (July 20, 2020) – A pedestrian accident on Sunday morning claimed one victim’s life in the Sherman area. At approximately 11:30 p.m., two good Samaritans stopped to assist at the site of a collision on US Highway 75 near the intersection with Farm to Market Road 691.
As the two men were walking over to the vehicles, one of the men spotted a semi-truck heading toward them in the road. One of the men pushed the second man out of the way but was unable to exit the road himself. The male pedestrian was subsequently struck by the semi-truck, resulting in fatal injuries. Emergency personnel responded to the site of the crash and immediately declared the man deceased. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.
We would like to offer our condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Every day, more than ten people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents here in Texas. Many victims suffer fatal injuries in collisions as a result of the negligent or reckless actions of others. A fair share of these victims are not inside vehicles at all. Instead, they are traveling on foot to their destinations. Across the United States, nearly 6,000 pedestrians are struck and killed by vehicles each year. Roughly 10% of these fatal accidents happen right here in Texas.
Pedestrian accidents often have a far-reaching impact on the lives of surviving relatives. Not only are parents, spouses, and children forced to deal with the overwhelming emotional consequences, but the financial effects families endure are often devastating as well. Many families are unprepared to cover funeral expenses, deal with lost wages, and other costs they experience after a tragic loss. For this reason, our state enables families who lose loved ones, in preventable accidents resulting from negligence, to obtain compensation from those who cause them harm. When people are fatally injured in these horrific collisions, surviving relatives can contact a wrongful death attorney in Texas to protect their legal rights.
