A 72 year-old man was treated for minor injuries after a car pedestrian accident in Petrolia.
Lambton OPP say the incident happened around 4:30 pm in the afternoon at the intersection of Petrolia Line and Maude Street.
Police say the pedestrian was crossing Maude Street going east when an SUV tried to make a left turn from Petrolia Line. The SUV hit the man and the driver jumped out to provide immediate medical help. The man was taken to hospital for the injuries which police say were minor.
A 46-year old Petrolia woman has been charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian.
Just wanted to thank everyone who helped after the accident. The folks who brought out wet towels and ice, Jennifer who got me to the hospital, all the staff at the Emergency department especially the doctor who enjoys doing sutures and the police for their professional follow-up.
Thanks Again and God Bless

not to dismiss the charges, and thankful the driver did what she could to help but does anyone else find the streets of Petrolia have poor visibility for pedestrians? not sure how to fix it, but as a driver i am more stressed in Ptown watching for them, and as a pedestrian more leary to cross.
