A car struck a man crossing the street in front of St. Paul’s Church on 65th St. and 11th Ave. on Tuesday evening. Residents in a nearby home took him inside to care for him while medics raced to the scene.

A witness who spoke to the man after the accident told us his injuries are not critical. The windshield of the station wagon that hit the pedestrian was smashed, but the occupant was not injured. As many Ballardites know, this particular stretch of 65th, especially at evening rush hour, can be particularly busy and dangerous. (Thanks Silver for the tip!)
