A man was fatally struck by an RV on Broadway in Eureka on Friday afternoon, February 13, 2026.
The Eureka Police Department responded around 4:17 p.m. to the incident near the intersection of Broadway and Wabash. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
Details surrounding the incident remain limited, and the identity of the deceased man has not been released.
The driver, who was uninjured, was reportedly traumatized by the collision and was cooperative with authorities during questioning at a nearby gas station.
Witnesses and the driver were interviewed by police, and the department is working on accessing video evidence from a vehicle camera.
While there is no official word from EPD on a dog reportedly accompanying the man, community social media posts indicate that a dog named “Thor” has been found and is in the care of locals.
An off-duty officer arrived at the scene almost immediately, with traffic halted between 14th Street and Wabash Street. The scene was cleared around 7:50 p.m.
DUI or speeding is not believed to be a factor in the incident, though the investigation is ongoing, according to EPD spokesperson Laura Montagna.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
