We are saddened to hear of this unfortunate accident in Easton.  Pedestrian and bicycle accidents are never easy to deal with because they often bring severe and catastrophic injuries, and even death.  They happen suddenly and without warning.

In our community, pedestrians and bicyclists are a common sight.  Many people walk or ride around our city on a daily basis for a number of reasons.  Many times pedestrians are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and are involved in an accident with a vehicle.   Pedestrians can be hit even while walking in clearly marked areas such as crosswalks.   Drivers have a legal duty to pay attention to the road at all times to ensure that they are acting safely and taking care not to injure others.  The results can be severe and catastrophic otherwise.

In this accident, the results of the police investigation will give us more information about who may be legally responsible.  Police will consider several factors in reaching their conclusions and their report will be crucial later on in regards to what took place at the time of the collision.
