Chaos hit the streets of North Austin last night with not one, but two auto-pedestrian horrors occurring merely hours apart. The Austin Travis County EMS posted details of a grim scene at 9024-9299 Northgate Blvd, where an adult pedestrian was struck down by an unforgiving vehicle at around 9:00 p.m. The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was whisked away as a trauma alert to Dell Seton Medical Center bearing serious injuries that could potentially cost them their life.

The brutal incident on Northgate unfolded just as the nearby rutters of Rutland Dr. & North Lamar Blvd were recovering from an earlier collision that had occurred roughly about 8:30 p.m. As if echoing the same sorrowful narrative, this victim was also transported with critical afflictions to the same bastion of hope, Dell Seton Medical Center, according to CBS Austin.
The grim tidings provided by the ATCEMS X post gave no additional information about the circumstances leading up to the collision or about the hapless pedestrian.
