A pedestrian was hospitalized after being struck by a vehicle in Comstock Park on Tuesday, with reports of the incident coming in shortly before 6 p.m. According to FOX 17, the accident occurred at the intersection of Alpine Avenue and Lamoreaux Drive.
Traffic was impacted for a period, as southbound Alpine Avenue was closed for approximately an hour during the investigation but has since reopened. The driver involved purportedly failed to see the pedestrian due to the sun's glare on their windshield, a detail confirmed by the authorities. "The driver turned south onto Alpine when they hit a pedestrian," the driver reportedly told investigators, as FOX 17 noted.
Details regarding the pedestrian's condition were not immediately clear, with WOODTV reporting that the pedestrian was hospitalized with unspecified injuries. The exact nature and severity of the pedestrian's injuries remain unknown.
