UP Report

University Police responded to a report of a UW-Oshkosh student being struck by a car outside of Kolf Sports Center Monday, Oct. 26.

According to police the driver of a 1997 silver Honda Accord hit the girl because a tree obscured his vision. The student was crossing the street, using the crosswalk, when the driver of the vehicle ran over her right foot, police said. The female was immediately transported to the hospital for an injury to her right foot.

Police reports indicate that the driver struck the female while turning onto High avenue from UW-Oshkosh parking lot 14, between Donner and Webster Halls. The driver of the vehicle was a 23-year-old male who was not a student of the university.

Vue Yang ,23, of 1719 Taft Ave., was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian at a crosswalk (controlled) and was then released.
