An older pedestrian was crossing in a marked crosswalk in Alexandria when he was struck by a driver making a left turn. The driver failed to yield and later admitted she never saw him before the impact. The driver was a city employee acting within the scope of her job at the time of the crash.
He was knocked to the pavement and suffered a severe brain injury, leading to permanent memory loss and lasting cognitive effects. Before the crash, he lived independently. Afterward, he and his sister were forced to move into assisted living due to his injuries.
