Kerhonkson, NY (May 1, 2025) – A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in the parking lot of Outpost BBQ on Route 209 in Kerhonkson early on Thursday evening. The incident occurred on May 1 at around 5:52 p.m., drawing an immediate response from Kerhonkson-Accord Rescue crews and local law enforcement.

According to emergency radio traffic and updates from Ulster County Fire/Rescue Incidents, a vehicle collided with a pedestrian outside the restaurant located at 6611 Route 209. First responders arrived quickly and found the victim down near the entrance to the parking area. The pedestrian sustained injuries that required immediate medical attention and was transported to a nearby medical facility. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities.

Traffic flow along Route 209 remained unaffected, but the parking lot was temporarily blocked as responders tended to the injured and conducted a scene investigation. Officials have not released the identity of the victim or the severity of the injuries, though the response was classified as injury-involved.

Law enforcement is currently reviewing surveillance footage from the restaurant and interviewing witnesses. Preliminary factors being evaluated include low visibility within the lot, pedestrian movement patterns, and the driver’s speed at the time of the incident.

Our thoughts are with the injured individual, and we wish them a full and smooth recovery.

Pedestrian Incidents in Parking Areas

Though they may not involve high speeds, collisions in parking lots—particularly those involving pedestrians—can still result in serious injuries. Unlike roadway crashes, these incidents often happen in close quarters where visibility is limited and distractions are common. In this case, the busy lot of a popular dining spot like Outpost BBQ can quickly become hazardous during peak dining hours.

Ulster County has seen a rise in parking lot incidents over the past two years, especially in commercial zones where foot traffic and vehicle movement overlap. These environments create risk not only due to congestion, but also because pedestrians may be crossing between vehicles or walking behind reversing cars.

According to New York State traffic data, pedestrian accidents in parking lots are underreported compared to street-level incidents, yet they frequently result in injuries that require hospitalization. Soft tissue injuries, fractures, and head trauma are among the most common outcomes in these collisions.

If you or someone you care about was injured in a parking lot crash like this one on Route 209, it’s important to seek medical care immediately—even if injuries appear minor at first. Additionally, legal guidance may help clarify liability and insurance responsibilities.
