Fargo, ND (July 10, 2023) – A motor vehicle accident involving a semi-truck claimed the life of a man from Florida early Sunday, July 9.
At around 2:48 a.m., the North Dakota Highway Patrol responded to the scene of an auto accident on Interstate 29.
Preliminary reports from NDHP show that a man was driving a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck north along Interstate 29 when he became involved in a collision. The driver of the vehicle was ejected from his vehicle.
The man was then struck by a 2023 International Truck, which was hauling a 2016 Manac 53-foot van trailer.
The pedestrian was fatally injured and pronounced deceased at the scene.
At this time, this fatal crash is being investigated by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
We offer our warmest sympathies to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident.
Pedestrian accident statistics from 2021 show that more than 7,480 victims lost their lives in fatal pedestrian accidents throughout the United States. This number represents the highest recorded pedestrian fatalities in over four decades, and we can only expect the number of people who lose their lives in these preventable accidents to increase. Regrettably, when pedestrians are involved in accidents with semi-trucks, commercial vehicles, and large tanker trucks, the chances of them suffering severe and fatal injuries are drastically increased.
