HPD responded to a report of a pregnant pedestrian being struck by a vehicle. Upon arriving on scene, the responding officer observed a Dodge Ram pickup up on the sidewalk facing South East and then observed a female subject sitting on the side walk with two men talking to her as she was vomiting. Upon speaking with the subjects, the pedestrians said they had been crossing the street in the crosswalk and were about halfway across when they were hit by the Dodge Ram pickup truck. The male pedestrian said he and his wife were hit and both knocked to the ground. He was concerned about his wife because she had hit her head and was dizzy and had just thrown up. He also advised that she was pregnant. When speaking to his wife, she confirmed that she was pregnant and that she was very dizzy. I could observe two scrapes above her right eye and a scrape below her nose. I advised dispatch to relay information to EMS. Subjects were transported to Harris Regional Hospital due to her pregnancy. Upon speaking with driver, he said that he was turning left onto South Drive and as he made the turn he was blinded by the sun and could not see anyone in the roadway. The driver was cited for failure to yield to pedestrian.
