RENO, Nev. (AP) - A 13-year-old northern Nevada girl has been hospitalized with minor injuries after she was hit by a car while walking on the first day of school.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (https://on.rgj.com/2vLyzlW ) the girl was in a marked crosswalk on Monday when the car hit her, causing bumps and bruises. She was taken to a nearby hospital at the request of family.
Reno Police Officer Tim Broadway says responding police officers believe the driver didn’t see the girl crossing because of a possible glare from the sun. He says the driver “probably didn’t know they did it.”
