Woman struck by vehicle on Avenue C and 10th Street

Just after noon, a woman walking west on 10th Street across Avenue C was struck by a vehicle turning left...



Police and emergency vehicles responded in a near instant...





There was no discussion of blame — the driver or the pedestrian. Everyone was concerned about the victim's status. She was moving. Paramedics put a neck brace on her as a precaution and placed her inside an ambulance. Meanwhile, a police officer used a fire extinguisher to spray a pool of blood that had collected in the middle of Avenue C.

    This is awful. Any update on whether she is okay now?

    I haven't heard any updates... a good sign was that she was moving ... and she was talking, as far as I could tell...

    Recent statistics show that more often than not, it's a car making a Left hand Turn. Add another to the chart. Now, we know which way to look... twice.
