A young woman was hit by a car Tuesday evening while crossing a lane in Parking Lot 63 in front of the Maple-Willow-Larch Commons.

The white, college-aged woman was hit by a white, late-’80s model Oldsmobile Eighty-eight.

“She ran out in front of us,” said Chance Chesnut, sophomore in landscape architecture and an eyewitness to the accident.

“She was looking at us as she ran into the other lane,” he said.

Chesnut and Joe Beveridge, sophomore in pre-engineering, were both eyewitnesses to the accident.

Chesnut and Beveridge said they were in the lane facing the Oldsmobile in a black Saturn.

Chesnut and Beveridge said traffic was stopped in their westbound lane of traffic when the young woman approached their car on foot from the north. They said she saw their car was stopped and proceeded to cross the street.

A truck was stopped in front of the Saturn, and when she jogged into the eastbound lane from behind the truck, the Oldsmobile hit her, Chesnut said.

Beveridge said the driver of the Oldsmobile probably didn’t see the young woman because the truck could have caused the driver to have an obscured view.

“They didn’t have a chance to stop — it just came out of nowhere,” Chesnut said.

Department of Public Safety Lt. Isra Harahap, who was at the scene of the accident, said the accident is still under investigation.

The young woman was transported to Mary Greeley Medical Center at about 6:35 p.m., but her name and medical condition had not been released by DPS as of late Tuesday.

The passengers of the Oldsmobile declined comment at the scene of the accident.
