OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – Police in Oshkosh say a 15-year-old girl was hit by a vehicle while crossing a street Monday afternoon.
Officers, along with Oshkosh Fire Rescue, were called to Witzel Avenue near Westbrook Drive just after 4:30 p.m.
A witness told investigators that the girl was waiting to cross Witzel Avenue for about a minute. She was standing on the curb, in line with the crosswalk at Westbrook Drive.
The teen then walked from the south side of the street to the north side when she was hit by a car driving eastbound. At the time, police say the girl was close to the center of the road, in the crosswalk, when she was hit.
