Pedestrian struck at 10th and Fee

IU police failed to find the driver and vehicle that struck a pedestrian Tuesday at the intersection of 10th Street and Fee Lane, according to IU Police Department Chief Keith Cash.

The pedestrian complained of pain to his left foot but declined medical treatment, Cash said. The 20-year-old IU student was crossing the crosswalk on Fee at about 6 p.m. when he was struck in the left leg, causing him to fall.

An off-duty IUPD officer who witnessed the incident described the vehicle as a newer model gray or dark blue Acura, Cash added.

The vehicle was traveling westbound on 10th Street and was stopped in the right turn lane. Drivers are not allowed to turn right on red at this intersection, but the driver did, struck the pedestrian, then accelerated and fled the scene traveling north on Fee, Cash said.
