Dallas Pedestrian Accident Leaves Woman in Serious Condition

Posted on Apr 14, 2011

A Dallas pedestrian accident involving a driver suspected to be intoxicated leaves a woman in serious condition. The incident took place on Thursday evening, April 7, 2011, in the 3000 block of Bickers Street in the West Dallas area.

According to reports, the incident took place in the Lakeview Townhouse complex on Bickers Street. There, a car was seen by witnesses speeding through a parking lot. The driver apparently lost control of the vehicle, drove across a grassy area, and smashed into a concrete pillar.

The force of the impact sent his vehicle into a parked car which then ran over a female pedestrian. Rescue crews transported the unidentified woman to the hospital where she was listed in serious condition. The extent of her injuries was not made known.

The unidentified driver was not injured in the crash. However, he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Several people began fighting among themselves after a large crowd gathered following the accident. It was unclear if anyone was injured in the scuffle.

The Dallas pedestrian accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Officers indicated that they would be taking a blood sample from the suspect.

This is an unfortunate incident, and we wish the victim a speedy recovery during this difficult time.
