CINCINNATI — A 38-year-old woman is in the hospital after she was struck by a car while walking on a sidewalk along Reading Road near the Norwood Lateral Thursday morning in Bond Hill.
Police said a car ran a red light at Reading Road and Mercy Health Place. The driver, a 29-year-old man, swerved to avoid a car coming from Mercy Health Place, drove up onto the curb, hit a small tree and ran over a woman walking on the sidewalk.
Investigators said the driver then continued down Reading Road past the Norwood Lateral before stopping and waiting for police.
The driver was taken into custody, police said.
According to a press release, the woman sustained serious injuries and is in stable condition.
Witnesses told WCPO they were surprised the woman survived the initial impact.
Excessive speed appears to be a factor in this crash, investigators said.
This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
