BRIEF: Elderly man injured after being hit in Modesto crosswalk

MODESTO, Jan 03, 2013 (The Modesto Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- An 83-year-old man suffered major injuries when he was hit by a car while walking in a crosswalk at Floyd Avenue and MacGregor Court on Wednesday.

The female driver of a sport utility vehicle, who is 29, was driving east on Floyd when she hit the man walking north in a crosswalk at MacGregor at about 5:30 p.m., said Sgt. Steve Stanfield.

The man's clothing that had been cut from him by paramedics, shoes, watch and a pocket knife were in the street about 20 feet in front of the crosswalk.

The man, who suffered internal injuries and possibly a broken pelvis, was taken to a hospital by ambulance, Stanfield said.

The driver of the SUV remained at the scene and was not cited.

Stanfield said she was on her way home from work and had her two young daughters with her.
