The pedestrian, a 73-year-old Summit woman, was reported to be crossing the alleyway when she was struck by a 2021 Jeep Cherokee. The driver, an 85-year-old Springfield man, was traveling east on Springfield Avenue, and turned right into the alleyway leading into the garage.

There was no apparent damage to the vehicle.

The victim was transported to Morristown Memorial Hospital by the Summit Volunteer First Aid Squad for treatment.
