Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

IRVINE, California (March 13, 2013) – Pedestrians Sharon and Richard Crowell, both of Irvine, were killed Tuesday morning when a 17-year-old driver veered off Eastwood near Venta Spur Trail and struck them while they were walking on the sidewalk, according to a press release by the Orange County Sheriff Coroner Department.

The Irvine Police Department responded to the car crash scene and found Richard, 69, severely injured and lying in the roadway. He was transported by ambulance to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana where he later died at 8:03 a.m., the coroner reported.

Sharon Crowell, 62, was trapped underneath the vehicle and died at the scene of the crash about 7:21 a.m., the coroner said.

According to an article in the Orange County Register, police told reporters that the driver was a student at Northwood High School who was on his way to school when for unknown reasons he drove up onto the sidewalk and into the Crowells. The vehicle eventually came to a stop when it struck a retainer wall and a tree. The driver of the Honda was not injured in the crash, the Register said.

“There are no words that can comfort the family and friends of this couple as they cope with such an incredible loss,” Attorney West Seegmiller said.  “The thoughts and prayers of our staff are with them as they try to piece together what happened and come to terms with his death.”

Witnesses are asked to call Irvine police Sgt. Matt August at 949-724-7023.

Dinh Evans, 79, of Santa Ana Killed in Pedestrian Accident

By sschaben
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013

SANTA ANA, California (March 3, 2013) – Dinh Evans, 79, of Santa Ana was killed Sunday night after she was struck by a car while crossing in front of 2700 West First Street, according to a report by the Orange County Sheriff Coroner Department.

The Santa Ana Police Department is investigating the pedestrian accident to determine how it happened and who is at fault for her death about 8:46 p.m. Paramedics were called to the scene of the car accident, but Evans was pronounced dead at the scene just minutes after the crash. The driver of the Toyota Corolla who struck Evans was not identified, but police did not suspect drugs or alcohol, the Orange County Register reported.

Under California Vehicle Code Section 21950 (a) a driver must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, said Attorney West Seegmiller, a California and Las Vegas wrongful death attorney. Also, drivers are required to slow down when a pedestrian is in the roadway and be alert for any crossings.

“There are exceptions in the law, however, such as pedestrians are required to watch out for their own safety,” Seemiller said. “This means they cannot suddenly leave a curb and walk or run into the path of a vehicle. Also, pedestrians should not unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.”

owever, if a pedestrian does step into the roadway suddenly the driver must still make every effort to safely stop or avoid hitting them whether it’s a marked or unmarked crosswalk, Seegmiller said.

Woman Injured in Anaheim Pedestrian Hit-and-Run Car Crash

By sschaben
Thursday, January 31st, 2013

ANAHEIM, California (Jan. 30, 2013) –  Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who fled the scene of a pedestrian accident Wednesday night on La Palma Avenue and Harbor Boulevard, according to a report in the Orange County Register.

About 6:34 p.m., Anaheim police officers responded to a pedestrian accident in which a woman was struck by the driver in a red van. Paramedics transported the injured woman to a trauma center at a nearby hospital for treatment of undisclosed non-life threatening injuries, the report said.

“Drivers who flee the scene of a pedestrian accident are not only cowards, but under California law they are criminals for not helping the injured victim,” said Attorney West Seegmiller, whose law firm handles personal injury cases. “Many people do not know that if they are injured by a hit-and-run driver that their own uninsured motorist coverage will compensate them for their losses.”
