The Grand Valley Department of Public Safety says a female student is in stable condition after being struck by a Parking Services truck on South Campus Thursday. A citation was issued to the driver for failing to yield to a pedestrian.

Last Thursday, a student was hit by a Parking Services vehicle while crossing the street. The incident occurred while the student was crossing Calder Drive in front of the Niemeyer Living Center just after 5 p.m. 

GVPD Assistant Director of Public Safety Leah Heaton addressed the incident in a statement provided to the Lanthorn.

“A Grand Valley student was injured after being struck by a GVSU Parking Services vehicle,” Heaton said. “The student was taken to the hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.”

Witness and student Carson Smith was walking to his car when the incident took place. Stationed behind the Parking Services vehicle, he heard the incident occur. 

“There was a lot of screaming and crying,” said Smith. “It was horrible. I was very concerned about the person.”
