A man attempting to cross Highway 50 east of Lakeview Avenue sustained non-life threatening injuries after he was hit by a car at 6:53 p.m. Monday.
According to witness statements, the 52-year-old transient tried to cross the road from the lake side of the road, paused in the center lane, then ran across the eastbound lanes. He was struck in the fast lane by a car driven by a 32-year-old man from Stateline. Those witnesses said the pedestrian was possibly under the influence of alcohol when he was hit. He was transported to the hospital.
South Lake Tahoe Police Department does not believe the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
