On 04/08/2022 at 1454 hours while assigned to unit N524 I responded to the area of Hammon St and Priscilla Rd for a report of pedestrian that had just been struck by a motor vehicle. On arrival the pedestrian was already being treated by Fallon medics for minor injuries. I spoke to the operator of the vehicle, Gunter Heinrich who stated he was traveling southbound on Priscilla Rd and stopped at the stop sign at Hammond St. He then proceeded forward turning left onto Hammond St where he struck pedestrian crossing the street. Heinrich reported no injuries and no damage to his vehicle. I then was able to speak to the pedestrian involved who was identified as Emily Singley. Singley stated she was walking eastbound on Hammond St just past Priscilla Rd and saw vehicle 1 stopped at the stop sign so she believed it was safe to cross. As she was crossing she noticed vehicle 1 come at her and had no time to react. She was struck by vehicle 1 and knocked backwards onto the pavement. Singley had scratches to her left arm/elbow and believed she bumped her head but signed a patient refusal with the medics. Where Singley crossed there was no crosswalk but there was a curb cut in the sidewalk for pedestrians. Singley was about half way across the road when she was struck. Based on the statements given by the involved parties I issued Heinrich MA Uniform Citation #T1448567 in hand for 90/18A Failure to yield for a pedestrian. Heinrich is here from Austria visiting his daughter (the vehicle owner) and was operating on an Austria drivers license.
