Jackie Lester was struck by a car driven by 39-yearold Hobart resident Shautonna Stevenson. Both Stevenson and the passenger in her car, 57-yearold Aaron Scallion, also of Hobart, were transported by Carnegie EMS to Elk View General Hospital, where they were both treated and released with minor injuries.

According to the report of Trooper Chris Sherman, the condition of the driver and the cause of the collision are still under investigation. The car, he noted, was traveling westbound on Highway 9 when it struck Lester. The car continued for approximately 150 feet before coming to a rest after the collision.
