A man from Red Oak complained of pain and possible injury, Monday, after he was hit by an SUV while attempting to cross the street. Red Oak Police say a 2018 Chevy Equinox driven by 67-year old Charla Ann Schmid, of Red Oak, was stopped at the controlled intersection of Alix Avenue  and N. Broadway, and was in the process of turning left onto N. Broadway, when her vehicle struck 58-year old Kenneth Murray Houser, who was on the west side of the intersection before he began to cross the street. The accident happened at around 1:10-p.m.

Schmid told police she looked both ways and did not see any cars coming, prior to pulling away from the intersection. Her SUV knocked Houser to the ground during the incident. He was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by Red Oak Rescue, to be checked out. No citations were issued.
