TYLER \u2014 There are 14 sidewalk projects in the planning stage which are expected to start construction within the year. This is due to a fatal crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian shut down all northbound and southbound lanes in the 1400 block of East Gentry Parkway on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to Tyler Police Department and our news partner KETK, officers responded to the scene at approximately 3:34 p.m. on Wednesday. Responding officers found a woman who was hit by a vehicle while crossing the road. The woman who was hit was then taken to a local hospital for treatment but she succumbed to her injuries. Tyler PD has since identified the crash victim as 44-year-old Lindsey Null.<\/p>\n
The driver from Wednesday\u2019s fatal crash also hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries and is not expected to face charges at this time.<\/p>\n
The Tyler Police Department said Null was not crossing at a designated crosswalk when she was struck. A Tyler resident who was nearby when the crash happened said Null\u2019s death was tragic and that the city should be safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe heard a commotion and looked and saw police giving her CPR but she wasn\u2019t responding. It was just a really tragic thing to see,\u201d Jedith Perez with Perez Tax Services said. \u201cDefinitely we need for more safety for the pedestrians, even those on bikes or just walking to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyler PD Public Information Officer Andy Erbaugh said pedestrians should take the extra time to make sure they\u2019re crossing at an intersection, where vehicles are stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo if you have to cross the road, it may take you an extra five minutes. It may take you a little longer, but at least you can cross where traffic stops or has more ability to see you when they\u2019re stopped at an intersection,\u201d Erbaugh said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re at a crosswalk, you still have to, as a pedestrian, don\u2019t assume cars are going to stop. You have the right of way but especially a lot of people where they have an issue is if they are turning right onto a road, but the person has the right of way, because they don\u2019t see them coming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
