Oroville, CA (July 16, 2025) – A woman was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle while crossing Hwy 70 near Cox Ln in Oroville, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident occurred around 11:00 p.m. when 38-year-old Baljinder Kaur of Yuba City was driving southbound on Hwy 70 in a 2015 Honda CR-V. Officials reported that the pedestrian suddenly ran across the roadway, and despite the driver’s attempt to brake, the vehicle struck the pedestrian.
CHP Oroville, Yuba County Sheriff’s Department, and Butte County Fire Department responded quickly and treated the injured woman at the scene. She was then transported to Enloe Medical Center with serious injuries. Her identity has not been released, and her current condition is unknown. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Authorities are examining whether visibility, road conditions, or pedestrian behavior played a role.
We extend our hopes for a full recovery to the injured pedestrian.
Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents in California often occur along busy roads like Figueroa Street, El Camino Real, and Broadway, where foot traffic crosses paths with speeding or distracted drivers. Intersections without signals, poorly marked crosswalks, and congested urban streets increase the risk of impact. These collisions frequently lead to severe injuries, including leg fractures, head trauma, and internal damage. Pedestrians struck by vehicles rarely have time to react or avoid the collision, and recovery often involves hospitalization, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Crashes near schools, shopping centers, and public transit stop disproportionately affect some of the most vulnerable road users. Across California, in areas such as Sacramento and other major cities, these incidents are common, which is why working with an experienced Sacramento pedestrian injury lawyer is essential to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
