SU student hit by car; pelvis broken

A Syracuse University student crossing the street at the corner of Waverly and South Crouse avenues was hit by a car Friday afternoon, said Interim Chief Tony Callisto of Public Safety.

The driver and the victim were both SU students, Callisto said.

The victim had been talking on a cell phone and noticed after several steps into the street that the traffic light had changed, Callisto said. She was struck while returning to the curb.

The victim said she was taken by ambulance to Crouse Hospital, having suffered a broken bone in her pelvis. She said she is not expected to be released for several days.

Syracuse Police did not issue a ticket at the scene, Callisto said.
