Pedestrian pronounced dead at the scene
Tragedy struck on Saturday afternoon as a pedestrian was killed while attempting to cross a highway. The incident occurred just after 11:30 a.m. when a white Kenworth Fuel Tanker was traveling south on Interstate 435.
According to witnesses, the pedestrian suddenly ran from the east shoulder and began crossing the highway in front of the approaching Kenworth truck. Despite the driver's efforts to avoid hitting him, it proved impossible to swerve out of his path in time.
The front right side of the semi-tractor truck collided with the pedestrian, resulting in fatal injuries. Emergency services were called immediately but sadly pronounced him dead at the scene.
Fortunately, no harm came to the driver of the Kenworth truck during this tragic accident.
