Pedestrian Killed After Getting Struck by Car on South Bryant

By Joe Hyde, May 11, 2014
 

A male pedestrian was struck by a gray Toyota 4Runner on South Bryant in front of Pinkie’s Liquor Store.

Six San Angelo police cruisers responded to the 911 call that went out around 11:30 p.m. Saturday night. One the way to the scene, police heard over dispatch that the male pedestrian was not breathing and a civilian was performing CPR.

When we arrived at the scene five minutes later, San Angelo EMS crews had already loaded the injured pedestrian into an ambulance. Two police cars accompanied the ambulance to the Shannon ER with lights and sirens blaring.

Bryant was closed down to one lane as police conducted an investigation. Avenue J is closed at the Bryant intersection.

Blood could be seen on the pavement.

Assisting at the scene was the San Angelo Fire Department.

According to the investigating officer, the pedestrian was crossing Bryant from the Stripes. He almost made it across and was struck in the outside lane. The driver was released from the scene after passing a field sobriety test and giving a statement.

Police are not releasing names until next-of-kin are notified. No updates on the condition of the pedestrian will be available until a name is released.

Update May 11, 10:50 a.m.

San Angelo police said that the pedestrian is deceased. No citations were issued (headline updated),

Really? You're this insensitive about the families of people involved in these tragedies? Speaking as a friend of someone whose family was killed and the body parts scattered all over the highway and widely shown a few years ago, I can tell you it is horrific to consider. Your quick access to breaking news is necessary and appreciated. Your closeup shots of death and destruction has a fetish aspect to it. I suppose this is your bread and butter, appealing to the lowest common denominator, but it makes you look like vicious indiscreet vultures of the worst kind.

Nina, Perhaps you may be subscribed to the wrong news service. I applaud the members of this site for getting out there and reporting timely news to those who want it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with anything in the way this article is reported or the way it will impact any family member. Since this apparently bothers you, maybe the San Angelo Standard Times is a better source of news for you seeing as how they don't report on anything locally that cause people like you to get their panties all in a wad......

Nina, you know what I've noticed about you... your loud, outspoken rants are always the focus of SOMEONE ELSE'S tragedy, never your own. When the Wal-Mart "shooter" went down, you were so against everyone praying a little bit for him and his own personal tragedies... instead, ranting on and on about the poor victims of soon-to-be PTSD. And now, speaking as a FRIEND of people who have had family members killed.... You know what I think the real problem is? You've never gotten to suffer your own personal tragedy and you're a tiny bit envious. You can't WAIT for the day that something tragic happens to you or someone in your own family so that you can sink your teeth into a San Angelo Live article from a first-person point of view. Seriously? Get a life.

Crime and crash reporting is the most basic form of journalism. It's difficult, requires constant hustle, doesn't pay much, and has the most amount of snake pits ever when compared to boring city council meetings. People want to know why the Loop was blocked off for four hours Sunday morning or why all of the police cars are at the end of their street. We visit 50% more crime and crash scenes than we report. This is particularly true of structure and car fires. Our fire department is so good and fast that we usually get to the scene and there's no story. Some of the crash scenes are not pleasant. We did not report half the gruesome things we see and photograph. This is especially true when there are fatalities. Sometimes the event itself is sensational. The drowning in the Concho River last week is an example of that. We always try to take care and report the facts as we see them or are told by authorities.

I'm a little disappointed. Perusing the headlines on SAL will give the reader 6+ stories on crashes, accidents, fires and pedestrians getting hit, yet there's hardly any mention of the election results, the Blues Festival, or any other non-crash related items. Yes, crashes are newsworthy items and sure do a lot get those mouse clicks going, but in terms of providing a "news" service to the public, SAL is lacking. Now, it's Monday and some of those stories are beginning to percolate out. Yes, it's absolutely my choice to read this source, but it's not really any better than SAST. I'm only offering my viewpoint as a reader in the hopes that your service does get better. As a reader, I couldn't care less about the ratings or who has the most visits or subscribers. I care about what's happening around here. Is SAL trying to become just another sensational media outlet because it's all about the profit margin? If so, I can contribute a thousand stories a day, a la "The National Enquirer" - that will surely get more attention. I recommend turning down the police scanner, quit chasing the ambulances, and walk around town getting some news. Alas, it seems I will have to rely on word of mouth for my news. Kinda sad, really...

The coverage is speedy and appreciated. Those condemning ME for 1) suggesting serious accidents deserve less frivolous wording, and 2) for supporting the keeping of the peace by removing criminals from their rampages, truly puzzle me. I've had friends who've suffered greatly from both the walmart rampage and from indiscreet wreck reportage. Why do I need my own "personal tragedy" to feel empathy for collateral pain and psychological damage of those touched by tragic events. I can only guess that those criticizing me have a thirst for gore and an weird sympathy for criminal offenders.

You know those dang fruit flies that show up in the kitchen from time to time, and no matter how hard you wish them gone, there's always ONE that lingers... flies up in your nose and in the corner of your eye? Yeah... I think that one's name is Nina Noelle.
