Earlier this month, such an accident took place in Dundalk in the area of Dundalk Avenue and Baltimore Avenue at 5:00 p.m. Baltimore County Police continue to investigate the cause of the pedestrian accident, which killed an 83-year-old woman.

It has been reported that the victim was crossing Dundalk Avenue when she was struck by a vehicle heading north. The woman was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital. She was later pronounced dead. Authorities have not said whether charges will be filed against the driver of the car. According to the news source, the driver stayed at the scene of the fatal accident.

Although there has been no word about criminal charges, it is vital that all the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident be gathered and thoroughly analyzed. Accidents such as this typically result from negligence or recklessness. If it is found that the driver was negligent or reckless or that the safety conditions in the area were deficient, the family of the deceased woman may want to consider pursing a civil suit for wrongful death.

Although nothing can bring the woman back to her family, they deserve a full and fair inquiry into the events that led up to her death, as well as compensation if it is determined that negligence caused or contributed to the accident.

The car accident occurred just before 6 p.m. on Dec. 15 after Towson University police officers tried to stop a car with stolen license plates. Police say officers began to approach the car when the driver of the vehicle sped away. As the vehicle fled, it went out of control at the intersection of York Road and Towsontown Boulevard, hitting another car with four occupants inside.

The four people in the car were sent to area hospitals as a result of the accident. The conditions of the victims have not been released. As Baltimore County residents can imagine, they will likely suffer some pain and hardship because of their injuries

The two people in the car that caused the accident were taken in by police officers.

According to the news source, Baltimore County Police are investigating the incident. In a case like this, it is vital that the facts and circumstances be thoroughly investigated.

It appears that the driver of the vehicle that sped away from police was acting recklessly. The victims of motor vehicle accidents, such as this one, typically have grounds for pursuing a civil lawsuit. Regardless of what authorities decide to do in the form of criminal charges against the driver, the four persons injured in this accident deserve proper payment for their injuries. They may find it best to work with an experienced personal injury attorney as they pursue compensation.
