A Fort Worth pedestrian accident involving a single vehicle claims the life of a young man after he is struck while attempting to cross the road. The incident took place at approximately 2:15 on Saturday afternoon, September 17, 2011, in the 3300 block of Mansfield Highway.

According to Fort Worth police, a young man was struck by an unknown vehicle while attempting to cross Mansfield Highway. The pedestrian has been identified as 19-year-old Jose Medina. Unfortunately, Mr. Medina lost his life due to injuries sustained in the pedestrian accident.

The driver of the vehicle fled the accident scene and police have yet to find anyone who may have witnessed the accident. Mr. Medina was found lying on the westbound side of the highway near the north curb.

"There were no witnesses to the accident, so no suspect or suspect vehicle information was obtained," said police spokesperson Sgt. Pedro Criado.

The fatal hit-and-run pedestrian accident remains under investigation by local authorities as investigators attempt to locate the driver of the vehicle who struck Mr. Medina.

This is a terrible tragedy, and we extend our thoughts and condolences to Mr. Medina's family and friends during this difficult time.
