PORT TOWNSEND — A California woman was treated and discharged from Jefferson Healthcare hospital Tuesday afternoon after being hit by a car.
Christine Lawson, 50, of San Francisco was crossing the eastbound lanes of Sims Way at the Thomas Street roundabout at about 2 p.m.
She was struck by a sedan, Port Townsend Police Sgt. Garin Williams said at the scene.
Lawson reportedly was crossing in a non-designated area and not in the crosswalk, Williams said, so the driver of the sedan was not cited.
Lawson was conscious, was speaking on her cellphone and appeared not to have suffered serious injuries, Williams said.
Emergency personnel took her to the Port Townsend hospital to be checked, Williams said.
A hospital spokeswoman said Lawson was treated and discharged.
