A 28-year-old woman is at Hershey Medical Center, where she was transported after she was struck while in a crosswalk at an intersection along PA Route 72, North 10th and Lehman streets around 10:53 a.m., according to police.

The 60-year-old man driving a pickup truck was stopped at a red light on Lehman Street, before turning east but proceeded just as the woman was crossing with her baby in it's stroller.
