Fort Worth, TX (November 29, 2020) – A motor vehicle accident turned deadly on Friday evening in the Fort Worth area, according to local news sources. On November 27, the police and emergency crews in Fort Worth were called to the scene of an accident on Rosedale Street.

Reports show that a silver SUV was traveling west on Rosedale Street, just south of Interstate 30. As the vehicle ran a red light at the intersection with Evans Street, it clipped a pickup truck. The impact of the crash caused the SUV to roll over and crash into two pedestrians who were crossing Rosedale Street.

One of the pedestrians was pronounced deceased at the scene. The second pedestrian was rushed to a nearby hospital with critical injuries. At this time, the incident remains under investigation with the Fort Worth Police Department.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to offer our condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can have a life-changing impact on victims and their families. This is particularly true in cases where victims end up passing away as a result of their injuries. Every year, more than 3,600 people lose their lives in auto accidents across our state. Unfortunately, more than 600 of those fatally injured are pedestrians. Our state’s total of pedestrian fatalities accounts for nearly 10% of the deaths nationally, every year. Regardless of how many laws and regulations are put in place, we continue to see victims lose their lives at an alarming rate. These accidents are often devastating due to the fact that victims are unprotected against the impact of vehicles in collisions.

In many cases, families are forced to endure tens of thousands of dollars in funeral costs, medical expenses, and lost wages after a loss. These financial burdens only make coping with the emotional consequences more challenging. In Texas, families who lose loved ones in preventable accidents often have legal options available to them.
