PANAMA CITY — Police were investigating a crash on U.S. 231 Friday night in which a vehicle struck a pedestrian.
The condition of the pedestrian had not been released and northbound lanes of U.S. 231 north of East Avenue remained closed to traffic as of 9 p.m.
Details of the crash were scarce.
An ambulance rushed the pedestrian to a local hospital about 7:50 p.m. as Panama City Police Department crime scene investigators interviewed the driver of a silver Toyota pickup truck.
Police had not identified the driver late Friday.
Orange crime scene markers lined tire tracks along the grass shoulder up to where the truck had stopped just south of Transmitter Road.
The truck had front end damage and various items were scattered in the grass among the markers.
More details of the crash will be released as they become available, PCPD officials said.
