A 45-year-old woman was struck at 9:45 a.m. at the intersection of East Palisade Avenue and South Dean Street by a 1999 Buick Century driven by a 77-year-old man, Deputy Police Chief Gregory Halstead said.

The sedan driver was turning right onto South Dean from East Palisade when he hit her in the crosswalk on Dean Street, he said.

The woman wasn’t seriously injured, the deputy chief said.

Nor was a 24-year-old pedestrian who was struck around 10:30 a.m. by a 2007 GMC Yukon at the intersection of North Dean Street and Demarest Avenue, he said.

A 39-year-old female driver was making a left onto Demarest Avenue from North Dean Street when her 2007 GMC Yukon hit him, Halstead said.

She told responding officers that she was “blinded by glare from the sun,” he said.

Both drivers received summonses for failing to yield to a pedestrian, the deputy chief said.
