A female MSU student was hit by a car while walking across the crosswalk on westbound Grand River Ave. around noon on April 15, according to the East Lansing Police Department.
East Lansing police Sgt. Mike Phillips said the driver did not see the student as she was walking across the street at a crosswalk near Berkey Hall and did not yield in time to avoid her.
The student sustained injuries to her left side and was transported to Sparrow Hospital, Phillips said.
Human biology sophomore Mallory Wilson said she didn't see the student get hit, but rushed over to help after she saw someone on the ground. She said the student couldn't move her left leg, but otherwise seemed OK besides a few scrapes and bruises.
