Pedestrian hit when truck swerves off road.

By Norman Gregory Fernandez, Esq.

VALLEY CENTER , California

A 30-year-old man was flown to a local hospital with major injuries after he was hit by a truck that swerved off the road Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The incident took place shortly before 10:15 a.m. on Cole Grade Road just south of Cool Valley Road, about five miles north of Valley Center, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The truck also hit a light pole after driving off the road, CHP Officer Larry Chase said. The driver, a man whose name and city of residence were not available, was arrested, the officer said. He faces charges including reckless driving causing bodily injury and driving while intoxicated, Chase said.

The injured man was in critical condition at a local hospital Tuesday afternoon, Chase said. Additional information about the victim was not available.

I sincerly hope that the man that was hit recovers from this horrendous accident. If he does he will have one hell of a personal injury case against the man that hit him.
