Bryan, TX (November 5, 2026) – A driver has very serious injuries after a crash near William J. Bryan Parkway and Main Street in Downtown Bryan on Wednesday, November 4. A pedestrian was also hurt.
Witnesses said the driver lost control and hit the pedestrian in a crosswalk. The vehicle then struck a light pole before coming to rest against a downtown building.
The person on foot had minor injuries. The vehicle appeared to be a black SUV or passenger car, and the building had minor damage.
The Bryan Police Department is still looking into why the vehicle went out of control.
We hope both people injured heal quickly and fully.
Insurance Coverage for Pedestrians in Bryan, TX
Pedestrians usually have more insurance options than they realize. The first place to look is usually the at-fault driver's liability coverage. In Texas, the minimum is $30,000 per person for bodily injury. That amount can run out fast once hospital stays, surgery or months of therapy are involved.
A pedestrian's own auto policy may also apply, even though they weren't in a car. In Texas, personal injury protection usually covers the policyholder and household members who are struck by a vehicle while on foot.
It pays medical bills and lost income no matter who was at fault. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help when the driver has no insurance, doesn't have enough or drives off without stopping. People who don't own a car may still be covered under the policy of a relative they live with.
Health insurance can pay for treatment too, but plans typically ask to be paid back out of any later settlement, so the order in which coverage is used matters. Figuring out which policies apply, and in what order, takes careful review. A Bryan pedestrian accident lawyer can track down every possible source, handle repayment requests from health plans and help keep any coverage from being overlooked.
