A car hit a pedestrian on E. Mulberry St. in Fort Collins, sparking a major incident that is being investigated. The collision happened yesterday at approximately 4:19 p.m., and the Fort Collins Police were summoned to the site shortly after. A 50-year-old lady was discovered unconscious after the crash and was quickly sent to the hospital with serious injuries, according to the City of Fort Collins.
While the Collision Reconstruction And Scene Handling (CRASH) team meticulously dissected the crash’s causes, the collision forced the closure of Mulberry’s westbound section for three and a half hours. The pedestrian, who was trying to cross from north to south without using a crosswalk, was struck by the Subaru Outback, which was apparently traveling west in the inner lane. Perhaps sensing danger, the victim’s friend decided not to cross the street.
Sgt. David Lindsay of the CRASH team emphasized the significance of pedestrian vigilance and adherence to safety procedures following this unfortunate occurrence. According to information collected by the City of Fort Collins, Sgt. Lindsay stated that “the best measures for pedestrians to ensure their safety are using crosswalks and walking defensively.” He emphasized how important it is for pedestrians to pay attention, utilize well-lit crosswalks, and heed crossing signals.
