A 72-year-old Cincinnati woman, Nancy Turer, was killed Tuesday in a pedestrian accident in Union Township, near Cincinnati.

A 72-year-old Cincinnati woman was killed Tuesday morning after a vehicle struck her in the Kroger parking lot on Ohio Pike in Union Township.
The Union Township Police Department has not provided additional information regarding the driver or the cause of the collision.
PEDESTRIAN CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
The investigation is ongoing. Many people walk from one place to another; however, data from the Governors Highway Safety Association shows that this mode of traveling has become increasingly risky in recent years and has caused so much loss and pain.
The death of Turer underscores the dangers that pedestrians face each day in our country.
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, from 2009 to 2018, a total of 6,174 FSI pedestrian crashes were reported. These included 1,101 fatal crashes and 5,073 serious injury crashes. This corresponds to an average of 612 FSI pedestrian crashes annually, or 5 crashes for every 100,000 people in the state per year.
Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said in cases such as this that it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to preserve evidence for the victim's family better.
"Having the proper resources is extremely important in order to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence," said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and the national analyst for Newsline.
"Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve," added Bond.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
“In most situations, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing a street or intersection, even if a marked crosswalk is not present. It is always a driver’s responsibility to yield to pedestrians,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.
Pending the investigation, the family of Nancy Turer may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of victims can seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other losses following a tragic or catastrophic accident.
“Losing a loved one is an immeasurable loss, both emotionally and economically,” Bond continued. “It is critical for families to take immediate steps to protect their legal rights after such a tragedy.”
“We understand the challenges families face during these difficult times. Experienced wrongful death attorneys can provide guidance, keep families informed on the ongoing investigation, and proactively safeguard their legal rights and best interests,” Bond added.
