Police have ruled the 20-year-old female student was at fault after she was hit by a van Monday night while crossing the street when vehicles had a green light, East Lansing police Capt. Bill Mitchell said.
Witnesses said the student had been walking across Grand River Avenue near M.A.C. Avenue with a male companion when she was struck by a van.
Mitchell said although some witnesses originally believed the light changed to green as the woman crossed the street, it has been determined the van had a green light when the women decided to cross the street and was hit.
He said the woman was treated for minor injuries at the scene. No charges will be pressed relating to the accident.
The van appeared to have minor or no damage.
Mitchell said drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash.
