FULLERTON, CA (February 20, 2020) –  On Wednesday, a student who was walking on a sidewalk near the college in Fullerton was struck by a vehicle, pinned beneath, and dragged. The February 19 incident occurred on State College Boulevard.

Reports say the student had been wearing a backpack and walking on the sidewalk when a vehicle—described as an SUV—came out of a parking lot, struck her, and ran over her.

The vehicle dragged the victim roughly 10 feet, and she was trapped beneath.

According to people who witnessed the incident, officers who had already been in the area and were standing on the other side of the street rushed to help the victim.

The officers, with the help of Good Samaritans, lifted the vehicle off of the victim by using a jack. The person who had been driving the vehicle stayed at the incident site.

Responders from the fire department arrived on scene and worked to extract the victim from beneath the vehicle. They transported her to a trauma cetner in the area.

The injuries she suffered were described as moderate, but not life-threatening, according to Eric Bridges. Bridges is a sergeant with Fullerton Police. Her current condition is not known. Her name, age, and city of residence have not been reported.
