STAFFORD, Va. — A pedestrian was sent to a hospital early Friday after an oncoming car struck her.
Virginia State Police were called to the area of Bells Hill Road and Aster Lane, just off U.S. 1, when a 51-year-old woman was struck while walking on the side of the road about 7:30 a.m.
Though she was taken to a local hospital, police did not release the woman’s condition.
Investigators said a 2006 Toyota Scion was traveling south on Bells Hill Road and ran off the street, overcorrected, and then struck the pedestrian in the process.
Carly Vastinen, 18, of Stafford, is charged with reckless driving, said Virginia State Police Sgt. Les Tyler.
The crash was investigated by Trooper W.D. Green.
