Oxnard, CA – Man Killed in Fatal Pedestrian Accident on Mariposa St
Oxnard, CA (May 13, 2019) On the morning of May 11th, a fatal pedestrian accident happened in the 2000 block of Mariposa Street. A vehicle struck a 30-year-old man at about 11:40 a.m. The accident happened a block east of Ventura Road, and about two blocks away from Gonzales Road.
When the paramedics made it to the scene, they found the man injured and immediately took him to Ventura County Medical Center for further care. Sadly, the man did not survive his injuries.
Authorities are currently investigating the accident, but they believe the man had gotten into a dispute with the 35-year-old driver right before the accident happened.
Our thoughts are with the deceased man’s family during this sad time.
Pedestrian Accidents in California
In 2018, a little over 6,000 pedestrians lost their lives in pedestrian accidents in 2018. Most of these accidents could have been avoided had drivers been paying attention to the road instead of using their cell phones, conversing with passengers, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, and more. Even though drivers believe they can manage partaking in multiple different activities while driving, splitting their focus always results into pedestrian accidents.
