Pedestrian Killed in Accident Friday Evening

Pedestrian Fatally Injured in Jefferson County Kentucky- Louisville Pedestrian Accident Attorney

DATE: January 8, 2010

LOCATION: Preston Highway, Louisville

TYPE: Ward Chance Jr., aged 66, died after being struck by a pickup truck Friday evening.

In a tragic accident on Friday evening 66-year-old Ward Chance Jr. was killed after he was struck by a pickup truck in the 6600 block of Preston Highway. According to Louisville Metro Police reports, Mr. Chance was crossing Preston Highway and was not seen by the driver of the truck. He was apparently wearing dark clothes and not using the crosswalk at the time he was struck. Mr. Chance was transported to University Hospital where he later died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries.

Police have also reported that neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in the accident and no charges will be filed.

It is the responsibility of both motorists and pedestrians to take measures to prevent tragedies such as this one. My sympathies go the family and loved ones of Mr. Chance.
