Harlingen has more than its share of all types of accidents: cars, trucks, and yes even pedestrians. As the days are short and the nights long, the darkness means that you can be injured as a pedestrian even if you are walking along the sidewalk minding your own business.

The reason that Harlingen has more than its’ fair share of accidents is largely down to the airport. There are big trucks running back and forth to Valley International Airport at all times of day and night. Unfortunately, trucks can do a lot of damage if you get hit by one, because they are so heavy.

Now, to be fair, it is not always the fault of a driver if a pedestrian should get hit. This writer has personal experience. Some years ago, driving along a main road outside the town, a pedestrian was walking along the sidewalk ahead of me. At the last moment, he stepped into the road in front of me! I had no chance, and I hit him. He bounced on to the hood, and smashed the window. Fortunately, the police realized it was his own fault. He did suffer some injuries, of course, but not too severe.
