On Monday, August 7, 2023, at approximately 4:41 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 200 block of North Lake Parker Avenue for a traffic crash involving a pedestrian. At the scene, officers located an unresponsive female who had been struck by a semi-truck pulling a trailer. The Lakeland Police Department, Polk County Fire Rescue, and the Lakeland Fire Department all arrived on the scene to begin life-saving measures. Despite the efforts of first responders, the 36-year-old female pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on information gathered at the scene, officers believe the semi-truck was traveling southbound on North Lake Parker Avenue approaching the East Rose Street intersection on a green traffic light. The semi-truck entered into the left turn lane to turn east onto East Rose Street. At the same time, a pedestrian was standing at the northwest corner of the intersection, on the sidewalk, and entered the crosswalk in an eastbound direction. The pedestrian entered the path of the semi-truck and was struck. Preliminarily, it does not appear the pedestrian’s actions were an intentional act of self-harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadway was shut down for approximately 6 hours while the scene was processed for the ongoing investigation. At this time, the deceased’s name is not being released pending the open investigation in accordance with Marsy’s Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with information regarding the crash is asked to contact Traffic Crash Inspector Ofc. Camilo Almeida camilo.almeida@lakelandgov.net<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
