A Morrisville man is hospitalized with severe leg injuries after being hit by a tractor-trailer in South Burlington Thursday morning.

It happened just after 11 a.m. on Shelburne Road near McIntosh Avenue. Police say Todd Geraci, 27, attempted to cross against the traffic light and was hit by the truck.

According to police, one of the first officers on scene applied a tourniquet to the Geraci's leg, preventing what medical staffers say could have been a serious long-term injury. His current condition was not available.

Although the investigation is ongoing, police say there is no evidence the driver of the truck, Scott Pastor, 52, did anything wrong, and that the crosswalk violation contributed to the crash.
