AUTO VS. PEDESTRIAN CRASH

That's the headline of a news release from Grant Story, public information officer for the Springfield Police Department. As one might imagine, the auto won. From the SPD:

The crash occurred in the 700 block of south Glenstone at 9:41 p.m. on September 12. The pedestrian has been identified as Nathan J. Horne, age 29, of Springfield.

The crash occurred as a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero, operated by Nathan A. Law, age 17, of Springfield, was northbound on Glenstone in the right hand (outside) lane and Mr. Horne was walking in the area. Mr. Horne was subsequently struck by the Montero, and suffered life-threatening injuries. He was transported to St. John’s Hospital where he remains in critical condition.
