October happens to be National Pedestrian Safety Month, which makes no difference whatsoever to a pedestrian who was hit in Downtown Redding Monday. Shortly after 10AM, two people were walking a dog on East Street and were crossing within a crosswalk at South Street when one of them was struck by a Prius. The driver apparently did not see them. The one who was struck suffered major injuries and was in stable condition at Mercy Hospital at last word.
