Pedestrian hit on Gulf Boulevard crosswalk
A woman was struck by a car as she tried to cross Gulf Boulevard in North Redington Beach with her daughter on Saturday night.
About 8 p.m., Dorothy Orkney, 83, pressed a button to get a light at the crosswalk just south of 173rd Street and stepped into the roadway. Two vehicles passed, and one of them hit her.
She was taken to Bayfront Medical Center with serious but not life-threatening injuries, said Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda.
The driver, Christophe Williams of Knoxville, Tenn., received citations for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk –- which carries a $117.50 fine -– and for driving an unregistered vehicle, a criminal citation that requires a court appearance.
