San Francisco, CA – Fatal Pedestrian Crash Kills Elderly Man on 36th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard

San Francisco, CA (July 18, 2018) –  A local San Francisco news outlet reported a fatal pedestrian accident at the intersection of 36th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard after an elderly man was struck and killed by a passing motorist. The deadly collision reportedly took place at approximately 10:06 a.m. as the man was attempting to cross the street.

The report that was released stated that the elderly man did not survive after being hit by the vehicle, and he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The motorist apparently remained at the scene in order to cooperate with authorities, although no further details were released regarding the driver.

According to the news source that reported the accident, a “High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk System” was recently installed at that particular intersection in an attempt to keep pedestrians safe. It is currently unclear whether or not the victim of this accident was crossing the road within a marked crosswalk at the time of impact. No further information was released regarding the cause of this tragic accident or the names of those involved. Police investigators are presently performing a full investigation in order to establish the events of the incident.

We offer our deepest condolences to the family members and other loved ones of the victim during this devastating time.

An investigation will primarily focus on determining who was liable for this collision. While motorists in California are required by law to keep a watchful eye out for pedestrians at all times, authorities will also be analyzing the conduct of the victim prior to the accident. Depending on whether or not investigators find the driver at-fault due to negligence, there may be a wrongful death claim to follow. However, the decision to file a claim for compensation is an immensely personal choice that can only be made by those who were directly affected by the accident.
