ROY, Utah — For the third time in just over 2 weeks, a pedestrian attempting to cross a street in Roy has been struck by a vehicle.

All three pedestrians who were hit were in crosswalks at the time of their incidents.

On Friday, a woman was crossing 1900 West 4400 South when she was hit by a driver turning left. The woman suffered some abrasions and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. Police said the man driving the vehicle remained on the scene after the incident.
