At least seven people sustained various injuries after getting struck by a vehicle near an outdoor concert event parking lot on Rusk Street.
Based on a preliminary investigation, the incident took place at around 8:15 p.m. near the Municipal Building on Rusk Street. Police said that four children and three adults got struck by a sport utility vehicle that was backing out of a parking space. They added that the driver failed to shift into drive and backed into the pedestrians while accelerating.
Among the victims, a four-year-old boy suffered from non-life threatening injuries. He was rushed to an area hospital where he received medical attention.
The investigation is still in progress.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the injured victims. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Sherman Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Injuries caused by vehicle collisions can vary from crash to crash. Some injuries may heal within a span of days while others could paralyze a victim’s body for a month. The most commonly known car accident injuries include neck and chest and head and back injuries. Broken and ligament damages are also quite common.
Sometimes, a car accident can cause serious injuries to multiple parties—and filing a claim can get complicated. To make sure your claim is successful, you need to gather supporting evidence and documents that can back up your claim. It could be a detailed account of the accident you are involved in or documents indicating the extent of injuries you sustained. These may include a video or photograph of the scene, police reports, and medical records, to name a few.
