Oxnard, CA (February 14, 2025) – A pedestrian died after being struck by two vehicles early Friday morning in south Oxnard.
Accident Details: The crash occurred around 6 a.m. at the intersection of Hueneme Road and Salvador Drive. Authorities report that a man was walking in the roadway when struck by the two vehicles. Emergency responders transported him to Ventura County Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Both drivers remained at the scene and cooperated with the ongoing investigation.
Investigation: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination. Authorities examine various factors to determine the cause of tragic car accidents like this, including driver behavior, who had the right of way, and roadway conditions.
Legal Considerations: Drivers in California have a duty to remain vigilant and exercise reasonable care to avoid collisions with pedestrians. Investigators assess whether the drivers breached this duty in car accident cases. If the investigation finds that the victim in a pedestrian crash was killed due to another’s negligence, the victim’s family may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim.
I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the pedestrian who lost their life in this tragic accident.
