Keller, TX – Ashley Walraven Hurt in Crash on Keller Parkway

Keller, TX (October 20, 2020) – One woman was left injured after a vehicle drove through her place of employment on Friday afternoon. Just after 1 p.m., on October 16, the Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the site of a crash on Keller Parkway.

Reports provided by authorities show that a vehicle was stopped at a business located in the 900 block of Keller Parkway. The driver attempted to press the brakes but pushed her accelerator pedal instead, driving through the A&T Nails business at the shopping center.

One person inside the business, identified as a 20-year-old nail technician named Ashley Walraven, was struck by the vehicle. She became pinned inside. The victim was transported to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Grapevine for treatment immediately following the crash. No other injuries were reported in this accident.

At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with Ashley Walraven at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Over the years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people who choose to walk to their destinations instead of taking motor vehicles. Although walking is generally considered to be a safe activity with numerous health benefits, it can be dangerous for people traveling near dangerous roads. Many people are struck and injured or killed by vehicles due to negligent and reckless drivers. Each year, more than 7,500 pedestrians are struck and injured in auto accidents across our state.

These incidents are typically preventable, yet victims continue to suffer broken bones and other devastating injuries that force them into local hospitals for treatment. A large number of injured pedestrians are forced to endure overwhelming pain and suffering and deal with debilitating injuries that have an overwhelming impact on their health and wellbeing. Not only are mental and physical pain and suffering consequences of these horrific incidents, but many victims are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical treatment.
