A middle-aged man is believed to have broken his wrist after running into the side of an almost-stationary car.
The driver of the small silver Daihatsu sedan was slowly moving in
traffic along Grey St in Hamilton East, New Zealand, on Friday, when the
pedestrian ran straight into the passenger side of his car.
Senior Sergeant Juliet Burgess, of the Waikato District Command Center, said the man was crossing the road through stationary traffic when he bumped into the car at about 4.15pm.
"He bounced off the side of the car, onto the ground. He said that he just didn't see it and the vehicle was traveling very slowly at the time." Other road users stopped to help the man and someone called emergency services. Ambulances treated him on site. "All we know is that he was trying to cross the road to get to the other side." There were no reports of damage to the car.
