A 57-year-old woman was injured and airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after she was hit by a pickup truck Monday evening while using a crosswalk on West Sims Way.
Port Townsend Police Chief Troy Surber said the collision occurred at
5:13 p.m. Nov. 30 when the woman was using a lighted crosswalk in the
1300 block of West Sims Way.
Though the crosswalk was illuminated with flashing lights, Surber said the woman — who was wearing dark clothing — was struck as she crossed the street.
The driver of the truck, Surber added, had his headlights on at the time of the collision, but was focused on a nearby bicyclist and did not notice the pedestrian as she crossed.
The driver stopped and provided aid to the woman after she was hit.
The woman was later airlifted with a leg and hip injury and was transported in stable condition, Surber said.
The driver of the truck was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian.
Traffic was slowed on Sims Way following the crash as multiple police units, including the Port Townsend Police Department and the Washington State Patrol, responded to the incident.
