A segment of Holloway Street in Durham was the scene of a pedestrian-involved vehicular accident early this morning, resulting in serious injury and temporary roadway closure. CBS17 reports that Durham Police Department officers arrived at approximately 8:08 a.m., discovering a man who had been struck by a car on the 2500 block of Holloway Street.
The affected individual received life-threatening injuries, and emergency medical services transported him to a local hospital, as stated by Durham police. The crash, delivering a man to hospital whose condition remains critical, forced closure of Holloway Street from Junction Road to Joyland Avenue. Having completed on-site investigations, the road was later reopened.
Further information surrounding the circumstances of the accident is being sought by authorities. In a bid to gather more details, the public is urged to submit tips through CrimeStoppers online or to call (919) 683-1200 with any relevant information. This incident, marking a grim succession, occurred mere hours after another pedestrian was fatally injured on U.S. 15-501 last night, WRAL notes.
During the police response and subsequent inquiry, the Durham Police Department issued a traffic alert via Facebook, advising drivers to seek alternative routes due to the closure on Holloway Street. Their brief statement, announcing Holloway Street's closure originally, was promptly followed by an update confirming the street's reopening after the earlier closure caused by the pedestrian and vehicle crash.
