Two elementary school students were injured after they were struck by a vehicle while riding their bicycles to school in Collin County. According to CBS Texas, Melissa police responded around 7:50 a.m. Monday to the intersection of Eaglestone Drive and Valley Run after the children were hit. Both students were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Melissa ISD confirmed that the two children attend Sumeer Elementary School. District officials said Melissa ISD Police and campus administrators responded to the scene, and the students’ parents were notified immediately. Police said the incident remains under investigation. Child pedestrian and bicycle crashes near schools require a thorough investigation. A Texas child injury lawyer can review whether driver distraction, speed, failure to yield, school zone safety, crosswalk design, traffic control, visibility, road layout, or another preventable factor contributed to the collision. Evidence can disappear quickly after a school-zone crash. Surveillance footage, dashcam video, vehicle damage, bicycle damage, crash scene photos, school zone signage, traffic signal records, witness statements, police reports, and medical records may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your child was injured in a Melissa bicycle accident, Collin County school-zone crash, Sumeer Elementary pedestrian incident, or Texas child injury case involving a vehicle, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, future care needs, and other damages.

Pedestrian Fatality on East Loop 820 in Fort Worth
A deadly pedestrian hit-and-run on East Loop 820 in Fort Worth is under investigation after police said a man was struck near the Brentwood Stair Road exit and the vehicle did not stop. The man died at the scene, and authorities have not yet released his identity. Fatal pedestrian crashes are devastating, especially when the driver leaves the scene. Under Texas law, a driver involved in a crash that results in injury or death must stop, determine whether help is needed, and remain at the scene until legal duties are completed. A Texas wrongful death attorney can help families investigate what happened, preserve evidence, and look for available compensation through insurance coverage, witness statements, surveillance footage, crash reconstruction, and law enforcement records. Even if the hit-and-run driver has not yet been identified, families may still have legal options. In some cases, uninsured motorist coverage or other insurance claims may provide a path toward recovery.
