An accident occurred at 7:40 p.m. Feb. 17 near the intersection of West Shaw Lane and Chestnut Road involving a female driver and a male pedestrian.
The 20-year-old woman was driving a 1997 BMW and the 19-year-old man was crossing Chestnut Road at a nondesignated area, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. The pedestrian was found at fault, she said.
The woman was traveling north on Chestnut Road and attempted to brake when she saw the man but was unable to stop in time. The man hit the front of the car, denting the hood and cracking the windshield.
The East Lansing Fire Department arrived and took the man to Sparrow Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. He was alert and conscious.
