Type: Head Injury
Date: November 19, 2009, 11/19/09
Location: Renton Avenue S. near Rainier Beach
Outcome: One serious injury
A pedestrian accident injury in Rainier Beach left one man seriously injured Thursday morning after he was caught in a nylon rope used to tow a car.
The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening head injuries.
A GMC truck was towing a Toyota Camry (both cars had drivers in them) southeast on Renton Avenue South near 62nd Avenue South. The driver of the GMC turned right onto Renton Avenue and the Toyota went straight catching the pedestrian in the tow rope.
The man was crossing 62nd Avenue at an unmarked crosswalk.
According to police, neither driver showed any signs of being impaired by drugs or alcohol. No citations were issued but the investigation is ongoing.
Pedestrian accident statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say that there have been 180,000 pedestrian deaths between 1975 and 2005.
