Bowling Green Police Division responded early this morning to a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle in the downtown area.

According to the police report, Margaret Rose Weaver, 22, of North Summit Street, Bowling Green, was crossing North Main Street in the Court Street crosswalk at 12:49 a.m. The pedestrian crossing signal reportedly displayed a solid red hand indicating pedestrians should not cross at that time. 

Weaver reportedly dropped her mask, which was blown into the intersection by the wind. She went into the middle of the intersection to grab it and then jogged to the southeast corner. While doing so, she was struck by a vehicle traveling north on North Main Street and turning east onto East Court Street. The driver reportedly had a green light at the time.

Weaver suffered a scraped knee and declined EMS. She was cited for not yielding the right-of-way in the intersection.
