A 20-year-old man was seriously injured today when he was struck by a car at the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and St. Cloud Drive.
According to the Seal Beach Police Department, the accident was not drug or alcohol related, and no arrests were made.
It happened at 7:04 p.m. today as the man attempted to cross Seal Beach Boulevard at the crosswalk at St. Cloud Drive. A driver turning right onto Seal Beach Boulevard out of the Target Shopping Center near CVS, struck the man with the side view mirror, said Sgt. Raul Ahumada.
“Either they didn’t see him as they were turning or he may have stepped into the traffic lane,” said Ahumada. The investigation is still in the early stages, and police are asking witnesses to come forward by calling the department at 799-4100 X 1119.
The pedestrian’s injuries were serious enough for paramedics to consider highly critical, a designation used in serious or deadly accidents to trigger an investigation by the multi-agency Accident Reconstruction Team.
It is the third accident involving pedestrians and cars this month. A woman was killed while crossing PCH in Surfside the same weekend three cyclists were struck in a hit and run accident involving an allegedly drunk driver.
Have some regard for human life!!! It's extremely nauseating because, this is such an ongoing issue!!! If u hit someone have the decency to man up & help the victim stay render aid & call 911!!! Try to be a decent human being not a coward!!!
It's just such an on going issue here in our communities. When you get behind the wheel of a car you have the duty to be responsible and look so that you don't hit a pedestrian! It's as simple as that!! Proceed with caution or don't drive!!!

The family and citizens of Rossmoor should sue Seal Beach, since they DID NOT do a new traffic report for this area. WE TOLD SEAL BEACH and the GREEDY Developer that an up-to-date traffic report was needed before ANYMORE buildings are built. We can now see the results of their full speed ahead dam the reports attitude. Studies that they needed to do but ignored since they knew they would be telling. Instead they passed off OLD traffic reports on everybody who was concerned at last month's Rossmoor meeting. GET a GOOD lawyer and sue SEAL BEACH and the Developer for millions! All these concerns were recorded on video at the meeting. They blew them all off for the fast buck! http://losalamitos.patch.com/articles/residents-oppose-expansion-at-the-shops-at-rossmoor
