Homewood, AL (May 9, 2025) — A woman was hospitalized Friday after being struck by a FedEx delivery truck while crossing the street in Homewood, according to local authorities. The incident occurred at the intersection of Roxbury Road and Oxmoor Road, prompting a temporary road closure as police investigated.
Incident Details: According to the Homewood Police Department, the woman attempted to cross Roxbury Road when she was hit by the FedEx vehicle. Emergency responders arrived quickly, and the victim was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Her condition has not been publicly released.
Roxbury Road was closed for over an hour after the collision as officers conducted their on-scene investigation. The road has since reopened to traffic.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Authorities have not stated whether citations were issued or the FedEx truck driver may have violated traffic laws. Investigators will examine several factors, including driver attentiveness, pedestrian right-of-way laws, visibility, and the truck’s speed at the time of the collision.
If the investigation reveals that the FedEx driver failed to yield or was otherwise negligent, the injured pedestrian may have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim. Such a claim could help recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the incident.
I hope the injured woman makes a full and swift recovery.
