It happened around 5:35 p.m. at the intersection of State Route 5 and Heath Street. Police say a westbound vehicle failed to yield the right of way to a person crossing the road.
The pedestrian was treated at the scene by North Seneca Ambulance staff before being taken to the hospital for further care. The extent of the injuries was not released.
