SOUTHEAST GLENDALE -- Two mismatched shoes were among a handful of
items left in the middle of Colorado Street Wednesday after two women
were hit in a crosswalk there.
The Glendale women, 64 and 71, were being treated Wednesday night at a
Pasadena hospital for injuries suffered in the incident.
"Their injuries are not life-threatening," Glendale Police spokesman
Sgt. Bruce Fox said of the women, who were crossing the 1300 block of
South Colorado Street shortly after 4 p.m.
The driver of the white Ford Bronco that hit the women, a 17-year-old
Los Angeles boy, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence.
The women's names were not released Wednesday night, pending
notification of their families. It was not known if the women are
related.
The women became the fourth and fifth pedestrians to suffer serious
injuries at the hands of drivers in the city since Nov. 7. The other
three people were also in marked crosswalks, but the drivers in those
cases have not been cited although police said they are still
investigating.
Anyone who witnessed Wednesday's incident is asked to call Glendale
Police investigators at 548-4840.
