Another pedestrian hit by vehicle

Two pedestrians were hurt after being hit by cars in two separate accidents in less than 24 hours on Pocono roads.

In the last five months, there have been at least five crashes involving pedestrians and one in which a bicycle rider was killed.

A woman suffered head, arm and lower leg injuries after being hit just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday at Main and Eighth streets, Stroudsburg.

The woman was taken to Pocono Medical Center. No further details have been released.

A 22-year-old man was flown to Lehigh Valley Hospital with "extensive injuries" Wednesday night after being hit by a car on Rodenbach Lane in Brodheadsville, police said.

John S. Decker of Brodheadsville was walking north in the northbound lane near Weir Creek Drive around 8 p.m.

Gregory R. Decker, 19, was driving north approaching the pedestrian and did not see him, police said. The car, a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix, hit John Decker and dragged him along the road briefly. The victim suffered a head injury, police said, and was listed in critical condition in Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest on Thursday afternoon.

Police did not say if the pedestrian and the driver of the car are related. Driver Gregory Decker, of Brodheadsville, had a passenger, Julius P. Pasqua, 18, of Saylorsburg. The car has front-end damage.

This is the latest in a series of accidents that have left Pocono pedestrians dead or badly injured.

On Jan. 14, Ivern Brokennose was hit and killed on Route 611 near Tobyhanna. Brokennose, 44, of Tobyhanna, ran out of gas near Hemlock Drive and started walking on the snow-covered road around 6:15 p.m. He was struck by a northbound Nissan pickup truck driven by Dean Flowers, 50, also of Tobyhanna, who had two 14-year-old passengers. Flowers told police that he did not see Brokennose in the road until it was too late to stop.

That death follows a Dec. 17 crash that killed a West End teen and a Dec. 7 accident that killed a Pocono Mountain West High School student as he walked to his bus stop.

The West End crash in mid-December turned into a double tragedy. Leroy Miller III of Kunkletown was driving on Silver Springs Boulevard in Eldred Township when he hit Timothy Sullivan, 16, at about 9 p.m.

Sullivan, who was riding a bike, suffered severe head injuries and died after being flown to St. Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem.

Miller died a few weeks later. His girlfriend found him unresponsive on Jan. 7 and he was pronounced dead at Palmerton Hospital. A cause of death was not released, but Miller was distraught over the accident, according to a source close to his family.

Meanwhile, an East Stroudsburg runner is enduring a long and painful recuperation after being hit by a car on Dreher Avenue in Stroud Township in October. Drew Davis, 45, suffered multiple injuries when he slammed into the car's windshield after being hit.
