BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Melbourne Police responded to a fatal vehicle crash involving a pedestrian Thursday night near North Wickham Road and Parkway Drive.

According to the investigation, the crash happened at approximately 6:50 p.m. when a pedestrian was crossing North Wickham Road in the southbound travel lanes outside of the marked crosswalk and entered the path of a Toyota utility vehicle traveling southbound on North Wickham Road.

When officers arrived, they discovered the pedestrian had sustained life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash and later died as a result of those injuries at Holmes Regional Medical Center.

It is unknown if alcohol/drugs were a factor in this crash.

The crash is still under investigation and the identity of the pedestrian is pending next of kin notification.

An experienced car accident lawyer from St. Louis says: pedestrian safety is paramount. Drivers must exercise heightened caution, especially in densely populated areas. Pedestrians have the right of way, and negligence can result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Legal recourse demands thorough investigation to determine liability and ensure just compensation for victims and their families.
