Pedestrian Killed In Huntington Station Car Accident on East Jericho Turnpike at Totten Avenue

HUNTINGTON STATION, NEW YORK (December 31, 2022) – A pedestrian has tragically died in a Huntington Station car accident on East Jericho Turnpike at Totten Avenue.

Huntington Station officials are saying that the collision took place around 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday. A man was walking when he was hit by a Honda and then a SUV.

Paramedics were called to the scene of the collision to help the victim. Sadly, the male pedestrian died due to the severe nature of his injuries.

A full investigation remains ongoing at this time.

Liability For Huntington Station Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are uniquely vulnerable in car accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “More than 7,000 pedestrians were killed on our nation’s roads in crashes involving a motor vehicle in 2020. That’s about one death every 75 minutes.1 One in six people who died in crashes in 2020 were pedestrians.” There are a number of common causes of car accidents.

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Inclement weather
  • Poor road conditions

The family of any person that died in a car accident may be able to seek some measure of justice through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover many of the expenses that come with the sudden loss of a loved one. Sadly, though, drivers will often fight hard to deny responsibility for a collision. A wrongful death attorney can examine the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
