Posted on Nov 21, 2011

November 21, 2011 - Charleston, W.Va. - A man was injured when he was struck by a vehicle on Friday, November 18.

WSAZ reports that the accident occurred at about 9 a.m. on Central Avenue. Local officials said that the man was attempting to walk across the roadway when he was hit by an oncoming vehicle.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the man was not paying attention when he walked out into the vehicle's path.
