Police cited a Fraser woman for careless driving causing injury after she hit a wheelchair user crossing the sidewalk in Winter Park.<\/p>\n
At around 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, a pedestrian in a wheelchair and another person were crossing Main Street at Telemark Drive when a brown Acura stopped in the right-hand lane proceeded into the intersection, colliding with the pedestrian in the wheelchair, Fraser Winter Park Police said.<\/p>\n
According to witnesses, the pedestrians were unable to make it to the other side of the street before the signal on Main Street turned green.<\/p>\n
The collision caused the pedestrian, a 34-year-old man from Thousand Oaks, California, to be ejected from his wheelchair and suffer a hip injury. The wheelchair was also damaged.<\/p>\n
The pedestrian was transported to Middle Park Health – Granby and treated for minor injuries, according to police.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Acura, a 34-year-old Fraser woman, received a summons in the Grand County Court for careless driving. Impairment was not a suspected factor, but police believe driver distraction was.<\/p>\n
