Advisory: Vehicle vs Pedestrian

The pedestrian, a 31 year of age female, was transported by ambulance to PMC to care for her injuries.

The investigation is still ongoing however at this time all indications are that the pedestrian intentionally placed herself in traffic in an attempt to commit suicide.
