A MOUNT Gambier woman was left with broken bones and bruises after being struck by a car on Commercial Street East yesterday morning.
The crash is believed to have occurred shortly before 10.30am when the driver of a car turned right onto Commercial Street East from Ferrers Street.
Mount Gambier ambulance services and police were quick to attend the scene, assessing the woman before she was taken to the Mount Gambier Hospital for further treatment.
Limestone Coast Highway Patrol Senior Constable Andrew Smelt said the driver was at the scene when police arrived and no charges had been laid at this stage.
“Police will give the driver some time to think about the incident and will follow up with them tomorrow,” he told The Border Watch yesterday.
“But in general this serves as a reminder to drivers to be careful and keep an eye out for pedestrians when turning.”
