Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Nearly three weeks after a pedestrian was hit by a CPD vehicle, ABC 17 News went out with a MoDOT traffic engineer to see if the signal light was still working properly.

Laura Harrison was hit by a CPD vehicle on Wednesday September 7, after walking across the intersection at Brown Station Road and Route B.

Harrison said she was walking across the street legally when a CPD car hit her.

Columbia Police Department released preliminary information to ABC 17 News that said the pedestrian failed to yield. However Harrison, told ABC 17 News, that was not true. . . .

Upon looking at the officers dash cam & body cam video, CPD determined that the
pedestrian did legally cross the crosswalk.

MoBikefed comment: MoDOT is investigating the signal to determine if it was malfunction and to repair it if so.
