In 2008, around 69,000 pedestrians were injured in Seattle traffic accidents and other cities across the country. As a Washington personal injury lawyer and Bellevue wrongful death attorney, I know how personal injuries can interfere with a victim’s daily life and future.

On Sunday, an 83-year-old Renton woman was struck by a bicyclist while walking on the Cedar River Trail. She suffered serious head injuries and is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The incident occurred east of Interstate 405 at about 4:45 p.m. She suffered serious head injuries and is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. Two cyclists were trailing behind the woman. As they tried to pass her, she stepped in front of one of the bicycles and was hit.

The 57-year-old male cyclist suffered only minor injuries and was treated at the scene of the incident. The Renton Police Department is investigating the incident. We wish the victim a full recovery. Unfortunately, many pedestrians are injured and killed in traffic collisions each year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4,378 pedestrians were killed in auto accidents in 2008. Please, watch out for pedestrians at all times. Many of these collisions can easily be prevented.
