We just have way too many vehicle verses pedestrians in our local area. I hope the pedestrian will be ok. I wonder if the Ford Edge driver tried to miss the person and ended up about five feet off the highway. I hope the driver is ok also.
Pedestrian was my dad and his dog. He got hit and banged up pretty bad and a broken ankle
Praying your dad heals quickly.
I’m sorry he was injured but it could have been much worse. I pray for his quick recovery 🙏
I hope your dad is ok. A broken ankle is no fun. From the map it looks like this was close to the round a about, where people should be slowing down, and paying attention.
Rose, I am so very sorry that it was your dad that was hit and received a broken ankle. I hope he will heal quickly and be fine again. Is his dog ok?
Hoping and praying. Be alert drivers.
