Police are investigating after a truck struck a pedestrian near a busy Crystal City intersection this morning (Friday).
County police spokeswoman Ashley Savage said the crash happened around 6:30 a.m. today near the intersection of Jefferson Davis Highway and 23rd Street S.
Savage said a vehicle struck the pedestrian, who was transported to a local hospital with “non-life threatening injuries.”
A tipster told ARLnow that the vehicle in question was a landscaping truck.
Based on the initial investigation, police do not believe the pedestrian was in the crosswalk at the time of the crash. Savage said the investigation is still ongoing.
