A 14-year-old pedestrian was struck by a pickup truck in southwest Minot on the morning of March 31, according to the Minot Police Department.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:50 a.m. on 11th Avenue SW, between Jim Hill Middle School and the First District Health Unit. Emergency responders and police were dispatched to the scene following reports of a pedestrian-vehicle collision.
Authorities reported that the pedestrian was hit by an eastbound pickup truck and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. An initial investigation found that the pedestrian was crossing the road outside of a designated crosswalk. The driver of the vehicle was reportedly affected by severe sun glare, which impaired their ability to stop in time.
The incident remains under investigation.
