Pedestrian struck by car
A teenage pedestrian was struck down by a car in a marked crosswalk in Newton this Wednesday morning.
It happened at 140th Street and 80th Avenue at 6:15 a.m. The 17-year-old girl landed on the car’s windshield before she was thrown onto the roadway.

“The car was coming through and had the right of way,” Schumann said.
