After sustaining injuries from being hit by a car Tuesday evening, Megan Hurd was released from Mary Greeley Medical Center Wednesday afternoon.

Hurd, junior in construction engineering, was hit by a white Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight driven by Dawan Anderson, senior in sociology. The accident occurred in Parking Lot 63, adjacent to the Maple-Willow-Larch residence halls.

Department of Public Safety Assistant Director Jerry Stewart said Anderson, Larch 5346 Kehlenbeck, was traveling eastbound in Lot 63 after turning off Wallace Road. Hurd, 1121 Delaware Ave. #4, was walking south toward the M-W-L complex when the accident occurred.

Stewart said DPS received the call reporting the accident at 6:07 p.m.

Hurd was resting at her home in Nemaha on Wednesday evening and was unable to comment on the accident. Sandy Hurd, Megan’s mother, said her daughter sustained a concussion, as well as face and neck lacerations.

Sandy Hurd said her daughter told her a car came around the corner, she saw it, and then it hit her.

“That’s all she knows,” Sandy Hurd said.

She said she hopes her daughter can return to classes on Monday.

Chance Chesnut, sophomore in landscape architecture, and Joe Beveridge, sophomore in pre-engineering, were eyewitnesses to the accident. They said Anderson probably did not see Hurd because a truck may have obscured his view, and by the time he saw her, it was too late to stop.

Stewart said their assumption is probably accurate.

“A number of witnesses were interviewed at the scene,” he said. “We did not have any real discrepancies.”

Anderson declined comment.
