One pedestrian killed, another injured along busy West Melbourne roadway


One pedestrian was killed and another badly injured in West Melbourne in an accident along one of south Brevard’s busiest roadways late Sunday.

West Melbourne police are investigating a Sunday night crash in which two pedestrians were struck by a four-door sedan, leaving one person dead and the other badly injured.

Police said the two people were struck by a four-door sedan about 9 p.m. along West New Haven Avenue — also known as U.S. 192 — near the intersection of Meadow Lane and east of Minton Road. The roadway, which is moderately lit, cuts through a number of commercial entities, including a shopping strip. It was not immediately known if there is a crosswalk in that area for pedestrian use.
