Portsmouth Injury Lawyer Report : Man Hit Crossing George Washington Highway Dies

An 82-year-old man has died of injuries he received when he was hit by a minivan while crossing a road in Portsmouth last week.

As an experienced Portsmouth injury lawyer I was saddened to read about the death of this victim who was initially reported to be in a stable condition at a local hospital. Elderly victims of road traffic accidents are more likely to face complications.
