Vehicle-pedestrian collisions are very dangerous and are often seen as negligent driving of the vehicle. This could explain why many hit and run accidents involve pedestrians. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, a CU student was hit while crossing a street in Boulder on Wednesday evening. The crash occurred on Baseline Road near Canyon Creek Drive around 5:25p.m. The student, 23 year old Mary Wakeman-Linn an economics major, was crossing the street within a crosswalk when a car struck her and then sped off. The student was taken to a nearby hospital with serious head and internal injuries. Police officials are investigating materials left at the scene of the crash and continue to search for the vehicle involved in this hit and run collision.
