According to the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle, another person was killed in a pedestrian accident in the city on February 14.

The paper reported that the accident occurred near 1985 Fort Campbell Boulevard. The victim involved in the accident, Thomas Burchett, 49, of Clarksville, was listed in critical condition in a hospital last week.

Keith Germany, 49, the driver of a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus, allegedly struck Burchett. A representative for the police department said that Burchett was not wearing reflective clothing and not in an intersection or in a marked crosswalk when he was struck around 9 p.m.

The representative told the paper that the accident is the sixth pedestrian crash in Clarksville since December 2013. Four of those incidents have been fatal, according to the Leaf-Chronicle.
