PORT ANGELES — Zachary Harper, a 20-year-old Port Angeles man who was struck by a pickup on West Eighth Street on Tuesday, has been discharged from Harborview Medical Center.
“He was treated and released yesterday,” said Susan Gregg, spokeswoman at the Seattle hospital.
Harper was taken to Harborview with head injuries after he was struck by a red Dodge Dakota near Sabai Thai restaurant at 903 W. Eighth St.
He was listed in satisfactory condition Tuesday afternoon.
Port Angeles Police Sgt. Barb McFall said Harper was released at 10 p.m. Tuesday.
“Things seem to be well there,” McFall said.
Harper was crossing the street from north to south when he was struck by the driver of the pickup shortly after noon.
McFall said the driver couldn’t see Harper because he emerged behind a parked delivery truck.
The driver of the Dodge Dakota was not cited.
A woman who identified herself as Harper’s sister in an email said he suffers from mild cerebral palsy. She noted that the intersection of Eighth and B streets is unmarked.
Police originally said Harper was 17.
McFall confirmed Wednesday that Harper is 20.
