Pedestrian Accidents in Maine: Safety and Recovery
Pedestrian-related accidents, even those involving non-life-threatening injuries, are a growing concern in Maine’s urban and suburban areas. Tuesday’s crash on College Street highlights the risks pedestrians face—even when visibility is not a major factor. Common injuries like those to the knees or elbows often result from impact followed by a fall or roll after contact.
While the man was reportedly able to remain on his feet, knee and elbow trauma can lead to complications such as joint swelling, lacerations, or soft tissue damage, especially if medical treatment is delayed.
Lewiston, with its mix of residential and institutional traffic, sees regular pedestrian activity along roads like College Street. Motorists are urged to remain alert, especially near crosswalks, driveways, and entrances to apartment complexes or assisted living centers.
