On January 29, 2009, Salvador Montoya, 29, of Porterville, California was found unconscious in the roadway by a Fresno Police Officer.

Apparently, last wednesday night, Mr. Montoya was crossing the street in Fresno, California when he was struck by a car.  It is presently unclear whethre the driver of the car or the pedestrian may have been contributorily negligent in causing the accident.  The car accident in Fresno county occurred at Morton Avenue west of Belmont Street in Porterville, California.  The pedestrian was not crossing in a cross-walk at the time he was hit.  The car driver stayed at the scene of the pedestrian-car accident, so this was not a hit-and-run accident.

As a result of the car striking this pedestrian, resulting in a car-pedestrian accident, an ambulance transported Mr. Montoya to an emergency helicoptor heli-pad where the injured pedestrian was airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, California.  As a result of this car-pedestrian accident, the pedestrian was rated to be in serious condition upon arrival at the hospital.  These serious injuries included severe leg injuries and head injuries, such as brain trauma and brain and spinal cord injuries - as well as blunt force trauma.
