Huh

I thought pedestrians had the right of way?

A 19-year-old woman was struck by a car while crossing North Lake Street at University Avenue Thursday night, but she ended up getting two citations, one for failure to yield, the other for an alcohol violation.

Madison police and fire units were called to the scene on the UW-Madison campus at about 11:15 p.m.

She was treated at the scene and transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Officers interviewing witnesses determined the woman was in the crosswalk illegally when a 1999 Audi, northbound on Lake Street, struck the victim.

Police officer Howard Payne said additional charges may be pending based on a review of video surveillance cameras at the intersection.

The unidentified driver was not cited.
