accident attorney

Modesto, Calif. – As a accident attorney, I’m deeply saddened to hear about the tragic death of a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident in Modesto. My thoughts are with the victim’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

According to ABC10, the accident occurred around 2:36 AM on Sunday at the intersection of Paradise Road and Leon Avenue. Authorities identified the victim as Miguel Angel Vazque. He was crossing Paradise Road when a black sedan struck him. The driver of the sedan fled the scene, leaving Mr. Vazquez to die.

This is a devastating incident that highlights the recklessness of some drivers and the severe consequences of their actions. Fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime, and I urge anyone with information about this incident to contact the Modesto Police Department.
