Jogger Struck by Vehicle on Main Street on Binghamton’s West Side

A man out for a morning run through Binghamton's West Side was hit by a sport utility vehicle on Main Street.

The jogger was struck at the intersection with Edwards Street just before 8 a.m. Monday.

The man, believed to be in his mid-70s, was running west on Main Street. He apparently was in the crosswalk when was hit by an eastbound Buick Encore which was making a left turn onto Edwards Street.

The jogger sustained facial injuries and a possible broken ankle. He was treated by Binghamton fire medics at the scene before he was taken by ambulance to Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City.

The man, whose name was not released by police, said he had previously been struck by a vehicle near the same intersection decades ago.

The woman who was driving the SUV was not injured. She said she did not see the man as she turned from Main Street onto Edwards. She said the bright sun may have been a factor.

A crossing guard normally on duty in the morning at the intersection was not working because schools were closed for Columbus Day.
