Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately all too common on roadways in California, particularly in areas where foot traffic intersects with vehicle flow. This tragic crash in Lancaster underscores the vulnerability of pedestrians, who face a higher risk of severe injury or death when involved in a collision with a motor vehicle.
The incident took place at a busy intersection, where pedestrians often share the road with vehicles.
