WASHINGTON CITY — A woman appeared to be in fairly good spirits Friday after being struck by a car in a grocery store parking lot, spilling milk on the car and all over the road.

The woman was leaving Albertsons with her groceries in hand at around 12:40 p.m. when she was struck by a man driving a gold Hyundai in the parking lot crosswalk, Washington City Police spokesman Ed Kantor said.

“He was maneuvering in and out of the parking lanes looking for a parking spot and just did not see her and bumped into her, obviously, at very slow speed so there was not injury,” Kantor said.

While the woman suffered minor scrapes and bruises during the incident, the same could not be said for the groceries or the Hyundai. Spilled milk could be seen spread across the crosswalk and dripping down the windshield of the newly-dented Hyundai.

Gold Cross Ambulance responded to the scene and the woman climbed inside the ambulance to be checked out by medical personnel as a precaution, Kantor said, but declined transport to the hospital.

No citations were issued, Kantor said, since police officers don’t enforce traffic law on private property.

“Obviously, if it was a public street with a pedestrian in a crosswalk, pedestrians always have the right of way,” he said, “However, on private property, that law doesn’t apply.”

Kantor said pedestrians need to be as equally careful in parking lots as they would in the crosswalk on a street.

“The best advice to pedestrians,” he said, “is don’t assume that everybody is going to see you.”

This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement or other emergency responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.
