A 2004 Dodge Stratus heading north on Comstock Avenue struck a Syracuse University student outside of Ernie Davis Hall on Wednesday night.

The student, 20-year-old Jennie Chang, was crossing the street, despite street signs that said not to cross, when she was hit. The collision resulted in a non-life threatening head injury. Cheng was sent to Upstate University Hospital, said Sgt. Gary Bulinski of the Syracuse Police Department.

The driver, a 23-year-old SU student, was not issued a ticket when SPD responded to the scene. Chang received a ticket for failing to yield to an approaching vehicle, Bulinski said.
