(CSi) A Pedestrian was struck by a car in the 200 block of 1st Avenue North, adjacent to an alley on the west side of the street about 11:10 am Monday. The vehicle was southbound in the driving lane, at a low speed at the time of impact. The pedestrian was not in a crosswalk.

Jamestown police and Jamestown Area Ambulance Service were on scene to assist, along with the Jamestown City Fire Department Ready Squad and Jamestown City Street Department.

 

The traffic signals in the near area at 3rd St & 1st Ave North and 4th St & 1st Ave North had been turned off as a test of the Road Diet plan, to eliminate 5 signals on 1st Ave through downtown Jamestown. Concerns have been raised of fast traffic and difficulty for pedestrians to cross 1st Ave with nothing stopping or slowing traffic.

More on this story as information is available.
