Shreveport, LA – A woman was critically injured Friday evening after being struck by a passing vehicle on Interstate 20 westbound near Hearne Avenue.
Shreveport Police responded to reports of a pedestrian walking along the interstate around 6:11 p.m. on March 7.
Before officers could arrive, the woman was hit by the side mirror of a moving vehicle. Emergency responders transported her to a local hospital, where she remains in serious condition.
Authorities are reminding the public that interstates are not designed for pedestrian traffic. Walking on the highway, including the shoulder or neutral ground, is both illegal and highly dangerous.
“This incident serves as a tragic reminder of the risks involved,” the Shreveport Police Department stated. “If you see someone walking on the interstate, please contact law enforcement immediately. If you experience car trouble, stay inside your vehicle and call for help.”…
