A Dodge Pickup Slams Into Two Pedestrians in North San Angelo

At approximately 8 p.m. this Saturday evening, a driver of a black Dodge pickup driving southbound on North Chadbourne St., in the far right lane, struck a couple crossing the street directly in front of Western Sky Steakhouse, 2024 N. Chadbourne St., said Sgt. Ali Shah with the San Angelo Police Department. 

Sgt. Shah said the area where the couple crossed is very dark, so it's sometimes hard for drivers to see. When the driver spotted the couple, he attempted to stop, but the wet roads and conditions didn't help. The driver was going the speed limit, and alcohol wasn't a factor in the crash.

Sgt. Shah also said the couple, who appeared to be in their mid-60s, were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No citations will be issued because of the circumstances. The officer added that the couple should have been a little more careful crossing the road.

Police have closed the southbound lane about 25 meters from the accident, so expect possible delays or re-routing.

Update Oct 26, 8:45 a.m.

The police confirmed that both victims were in their 80s. They have also confirmed that the male victim was airlifted to a hospital in Dallas. The female is in ICU with life-threatening injuries.
