Deaf & Blind Woman Hit By Car - KiiiTV3.com South Texas, Corpus Christi, Coastal Bend
A woman's leg braces may have saved her from suffering severe injuries after she's hit by a car. Paramedics worked on the 31-year old victim shortly after the accident.
Officers tell 3News, the woman was hit by a silver car as she was crossing McArdle trying to get home.
She lives at the Oso Bay Apartments. The victim's legs were pinned under the car. Her injuries could have been much worse, officers tell us, if it wasn't for the braces on her leg.
"The lady got off the bus, she's legally blind and deaf and she attempted to cross and she darted out as this guy was pulling out of the parking lot and he hit her," says Sgt. Ross Richards with the Corpus Christi Police Department.
The elderly man who hit the woman was taken to the hospital. He was complaining of chest pains. No tickets were handed out over this accident.
