University of Iowa Cambus driver cited after hitting pedestrian

A University of Iowa student and Cambus driver has been ticketed after police said she hit a 66-year-old pedestrian who was walking in a crosswalk Monday morning.

Iowa City police responded to the intersection of Jefferson and Clinton streets in downtown Iowa City at 8:13 a.m. on a report of a pedestrian who had been hit by a Cambus. Upon further investigation, officers learned that a man was crossing Clinton Street eastbound, within the north crosswalk, when he was struck by the bus, which was turning north onto Clinton Street from eastbound Jefferson Street, according to a news release.

The man was taken by ambulance to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The driver, Audrey Kelly, 20, of Iowa City, was ticketed for failure to yield to a pedestrian within a crosswalk. Kelly is listed in the university's online database as both a liberal arts and sciences student and an employee for the parking and transportation division.

Kelly is listed on the website as being from Dubuque. She does not have a criminal history in Iowa, according to online court records.
