ST.PETERSBURG, Florida — According to the TBReporter.com, a pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries when a car struck him as he attempted to cross Fourth Street South. Police also said that the pedestrian tested positive for alcohol consumption. The crash is still being investigated by police.

Officers from the St. Petersburg Police Department who responded to the emergency call in the 200 block of Fourth Street South located a pedestrian, whom they declined to identify by name, down with life-threatening injuries. The male operator of a 2009 Chevrolet Impala allegedly struck the pedestrian as the pedestrian ran out into traffic in front of the Impala. The driver of the Impala was not able to stop the car before hitting the pedestrian.

Officers say that the driver of the Impala remained at the scene of the crash. Officers tested the driver for signs of alcohol consumption and found none. The officers concluded that the driver had not been drinking. Conversely, the TBReporter.com noted that medical personnel at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg examined the blood of the catastrophically injured pedestrian and found alcohol in the man’s bloodstream. The hospital did not indicate the level of alcohol in the man’s system. Police have not charged the driver to this point.

My name is Shantasia and I was recommended to PWL back in may of 2020 an let me tell you this, my experience with PWL was great! Not only did they take good care of my daughter and I but they didn’t give up until we gotten what we deserved. I’d settled a year later and it was definitely worth it. Had also recommended two people to work with them on their cases during the time of my case and I hope everything works out in their favors. In my time working with them I’d spoke with a couple of people there but Josephine was my favorite she really did her thing for us and made us a priority and I really loved that! If you’re looking to get justice for any accidents I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Parker Waichman Law. Promise you won’t be disappointed! :)
