14-year-old struck by driver in Duluth on Thursday

DULUTH, Minn. — A 14-year-old girl suffered minor injuries after a 69-year-old driver struck her on Thursday. 
According to the Duluth Police Department, the incident occurred at 40th Avenue East and Luverne Street when the driver turned upbound and hit the teenager while she was walking in a crosswalk.
The teenager went home following the incident with only minor injuries. 
The driver of the car, a 69-year-old woman, was issued a citation for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
