Madera, CA – On the evening of Friday, December 19, 2025, a pedestrian collision resulted in fatal injuries to a 60-year-old woman who died at the scene, according to KSEE.

Anyone with information related to the collision has been asked to contact the Madera Police Department as the investigation continues.

Pedestrian Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claims

Drivers have a Duty of Care towards pedestrians, which includes being vigilant for those travelling by foot and, if a collision occurs, staying with the victim, alerting emergency responders, and cooperating with authorities investigating the crash.

For those who lose a loved one in a pedestrian accident, filing a Wrongful Death claim with the assistance of an experienced attorney can provide compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, and other related damages. 

Should the at-fault driver evade authorities, compensation might still be available through a family member’s uninsured driver coverage. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help determine the best options in such cases.
