COLUMBIA, MO -- Update: Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6:40 p.m.:
Police say Sharon Sinclair walked across Stadium at Worley when a man driving a red car hit her.
There are no “Walk” or “Do Not Walk” signs at the intersection so she went when the light turned green. However, a couple cars made a right on red right into her direction.
One man who witnessed the whole thing explained what he saw.
"This lady was coming across the street. A white truck swerved and tried not to hit her. The truck blocked the vision of the red car. The red car hit her and she flew up on the car and she flew way over there about a whole other car length. It was far away, man," Dominique Johnson said in almost disbelief.
Paramedics treated the woman for bruises. They did not transport her to a hospital.
Police did not give the driver any citations because of the lack of walking signs at the intersection.
