The pedestrian accident took place on Tuesday morning, October 11, at a major intersection that includes 66^th Street N and 118^th Avenue N. 

At approximately 6:30 a.m. the high school student was struck. There is no information on the driver of the vehicle or what led to the pedestrian accident.

Injuries from a pedestrian accident can be especially catastrophic. If you or a loved one were seriously injured because of someone else's negligence, then your next step should be to seek legal counsel from a St. Petersburg injury attorney. An attorney can advise you of your legal rights and how to protect them while filing a personal injury claim.
