Beavercreek, OH (June 24, 2024) – A pedestrian was hurt after being hit by a car in Beavercreek on Sunday afternoon, June 23rd. The crash happened just after 5:00 p.m. on Dayton-Xenia Road near Meadow Bridge Drive.
According to a report, a group of several people were crossing the street as westbound traffic slowed in order to allow them to cross. One car, however, ran off the right side of the road to avoid hitting the slowing traffic. The car struck a parked motorcycle and struck a female pedestrian who was standing on the sidewalk. The victim was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital South for treatment of critical, life-threatening injuries. Her identity has been withheld at this time, and there is no update on her condition. The driver has not been identified, and no other injuries have been reported. An investigation is underway. Police have not said if any charges are expected to be filed. No further details are available.
We would like to extend our thoughts and well wishes to those who were impacted by this Beavercreek pedestrian crash. We hope for a full recovery.
Pedestrian Accidents in Ohio 
An Ohio pedestrian accident can lead to serious, life-altering consequences for victims. Each year, approximately 3,000 pedestrian accidents are reported across our state. These incidents have a much higher injury rate than traffic accidents involving motor vehicles and other types of collisions that take place on our roadways. Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable victims and usually have little time to avoid the potential of a serious crash. Many Ohio pedestrian accidents take place in intersections and occur when a driver fails to yield the right of way to a pedestrian.
If you have been affected by an Ohio pedestrian accident, you could have certain legal rights. In the aftermath of a collision, the most important thing is to obtain medical care as soon as possible. Seeking medical assistance not only supports your claim for injuries but, more importantly, assures that you will be appropriately treated before your condition worsens. Many injuries in pedestrian accidents and other traffic collisions are not readily apparent at first. It may take days or even weeks before the pain truly starts to manifest itself. Obtaining early treatment can help to prevent these injuries from worsening.
