Plano, TX (November 1, 2025) – A woman suffered serious injuries on Saturday, November 1, after a vehicle ran over her foot in the parking lot of the Walmart near Central Expressway in Plano.
The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. as shoppers filled the busy lot. Witnesses said the driver struck the woman near one of the main lanes of the parking area, causing significant injuries.
Paramedics arrived within minutes and provided emergency care before rushing her to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Plano Police officers responded to secure the scene, interview witnesses, and control traffic around the busy shopping area.
Investigators spent several hours reviewing surveillance footage and photographing the scene to understand exactly how the crash occurred. Authorities are determining whether driver inattention, unsafe speed, or congestion within the parking lot played a role in the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.
We extend our best wishes to the injured woman for a full and speedy recovery.
Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian crashes remain a growing concern across Texas. From shopping centers to busy intersections, these accidents often leave victims with devastating injuries. In areas like Plano and Dallas County, where both vehicle and foot traffic are heavy, the risk of pedestrian-related injuries continues to climb each year.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted driving such as texting or using navigation systems behind the wheel
- Failure to yield to pedestrians in parking lots and crosswalks
- Speeding in high-traffic or pedestrian-heavy areas
- Improper backing without checking mirrors or blind spots
- Low visibility caused by lighting or obstructed views
Even at low speeds, these accidents can cause life-changing injuries. Victims often suffer broken bones, severe bruising, crushed limbs, or internal damage. Many require surgery, physical therapy, and months of rehabilitation. Beyond the physical recovery, victims may struggle with emotional distress and financial strain from medical bills and lost income.
If you were hurt in a pedestrian crash, you may have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and long-term care.
