TYLER – A woman has been injured in a vehicle/pedestrian accident in the parking lot of Wal-Mart at 6801 South Broadway. It happened around 4:00 Wednesday afternoon. Investigators say a 62-year-old woman was struck by a van driven by an 80-year-man. The woman was crossing in the pedestrian crosswalk near the garden center of Walmart when the van struck her, knocking her to the ground. She sustained head and shoulder injuries as well as other minor abrasions. The woman was transported to Trinity Mother Francis Hospital for treatment of her injuries. According to Sgt. Robert Phillips, the sun shining in the windshield of the van may have been a factor in the accident. No criminal charges have been filed at this time.
