The Savannah Police Department’s Traffic Investigations Unit is investigating an auto accident that seriously injured a pedestrian Tuesday evening, according to a press release issued by the SPD on Wednesday morning.

At around 6 p.m. on Nov. 19, Jeevankanth Vaddi, 35, was crossing Hodgson Memorial Drive. At the same time, Casie Daugherty, 29, was driving south on that road.

Due to Vaddi wearing dark clothing and walking in a shadowed area that was not in a crosswalk, Daugherty could not see Vaddi and struck him with her vehicle.

Vaddi sustained serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital. The TIU continues to investigate this crash.
