PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man was hit by a log truck making a rolling stop at a stop sign at 11:15 a.m. Monday on West Marine Drive near Tumwater Truck Route, according to police.
Kelly Burke, 59, was taken to Olympic Medical Center for evaluation, said Officer Jeff Thaxton of the Port Angeles Police Department.
He was not listed as a patient at OMC later in the day.
“This was at very, very low speed,” said Capt. James Mason of the Port Angeles Fire Department, which transported the pedestrian.
“The pedestrian was conscious and talking to us and was in stable condition,” Mason said.
The truck driver was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian, said Thaxton, who added that he could not identifiy the driver.
Thaxton said that the driver had made a rolling stop at a stop sign.
“When he thought it was clear he tried to make a left-hand turn,” Thaxton said.
“The truck lurched forward and the next thing you know the pedestrian was on the hood of truck.”
Burke complained of weakness in his leg and was transported to the hospital, Thaxton said.

The board will hear public comment from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., the district announced Monday.

Carrie Blake Park traffic rerouted
SEQUIM — Traffic has been rerouted through Carrie Blake Community Park, 500 N. Blake Ave., a move which became effective after the ribbon cutting ceremony held Monday.
A new driveway reroutes vehicle traffic through the north side of Carrie Blake Community Park, exits out of Blake Avenue and travels one way to exit off of Rhodefer Road.
Visitors traveling by car to the park are no longer able to enter through Rhodefer Road.
These changes are to increase the safety of visitors who utilize the park and better support the numerous events at the park.
