In a sobering reminder of the perils that pedestrians can face, a serious injury traffic collision took place on the busy streets of Oxnard. On the eve of December 22, 58-year-old pedestrian Cristero Peter Luna was struck by a vehicle, leading to critical injuries, according to the Oxnard Police Department.
The collision occurred approximately at 5:28 p.m. on Gonzales Road, west of Williams Drive, where Luna was found injured in the roadway by responding officers. With urgency, he was transported to Ventura County Medical Center where he remains in a critical condition, as detailed by the Oxnard Police Department. The involved vehicle, a 2004 Toyota Camry, was driven by 25-year-old Noe Aguilera, an Oxnard resident, who stayed at the scene following the collision.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the Camry was moving westbound on Gonzales Road from Williams Drive when Luna was hit. The direction from which Luna was crossing is still, however, unclear. The Oxnard Police urges witnesses or those with information on the collision to come forward and assist in shedding light on this tragic event.
