Spring Valley, CA – Pedestrian Sustains Major Injuries in Crash on Jamacha Blvd

Spring Valley, CA (March 22, 2019) – A pedestrian was struck and seriously injured on Thursday night in the La Presa area. The accident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Jamacha Boulevard near Grand Avenue.

The accident caused Jamacha Boulevard to be shut down in both lanes.

The crash was initially called a hit-and-run. However, neither Spring Valley’s Sherriff’s Lt. Karla Menzies nor the California Highway Patrol could confirm that the car involved in the accident stopped and cooperated with law enforcement or fled the scene.

The victim was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego for the treatment of major injuries.

The CHP will investigate the case.

We at the Brady Law Group wish the injured a quick recovery.

Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

A report on pedestrian safety by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety said that vehicle speed plays a large role in the amount of damage a pedestrian will sustain if hit. If struck by a vehicle driving 32 miles per hour, a pedestrian will have a 25% chance of severe injury. However, being hit at a speed of 58 miles per hour leaves the pedestrian with a 90% chance of severe injury.
