Early Sunday morning, just before 7:00 AM, the Communications Department at the Corsicana Police Department received a 9-1-1 call regarding a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident on Martin Luther King Boulevard, near McDonalds.
Within moments, CPD Officers arrived and determined that an area nurse had stopped by the scene and had begun CPR on the injured pedestrian. Paramedics quickly arrived on the scene and took over the lifesaving efforts.
CPD Chief Robert Johnson stated in a press release, “Despite these measures, the pedestrian succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at Navarro Regional Hospital.”
According to witness statements, a Dodge pickup truck was traveling eastbound on Martin Luther King Blvd. when the pedestrian attempted to cross the roadway from the north side to the south side. The pedestrian was struck in the outside eastbound lane of MLK Blvd.
Chief Johnson continued, “Preliminary findings do not indicate speed as a factor, and there is no evidence to suggest the driver was impaired or distracted at the time of the collision. The area does not have a designated crosswalk.”
The incident remains under active investigation by the Corsicana Police Department’s Accident Reconstruction Team.
According to the press release, the pedestrian has not yet been identified.
Described as a Hispanic female, in her mid-30’s, the pedestrian had no identification, personal belongings, or keys in her possession. Her cell phone was located at the scene but was destroyed in the collision.
Investigators are working diligently to establish her identity and notify next of kin.
An autopsy has been ordered by Navarro County Justice of the Peace John Cabano to assist in the investigation.
Further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
