Houston, TX (March 21, 2021) – Injuries resulted from a pedestrian-involved traffic crash that took place on a roadway in Houston on March 21. At around 2:00 p.m., police and paramedics were requested at the scene of the wreck in the 11000 block of Briar Forest Drive.
Upon their arrival at the site of the accident, they found that one person had been injured when they were hit by a car. The collision occurred on Briar Forest Drive near Hickory Lawn Drive for currently unspecified reasons.
The injured pedestrian was rendered emergency aid by responding medical professionals. They were then transported to an area hospital for further treatment by ambulance.

Pedestrian Accidents in Houston
As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 129,000 people in the United States required emergency room visits in one recent year for treatment of injuries they sustained during pedestrian-involved accidents. Additionally, another 5,376 pedestrians died as a result of their injuries. Pedestrians are almost twice as likely to die during a car crash than the occupant of a vehicle, and if they do manage to survive being struck by a car, they usually have a very long period of recovery to endure.
