Two individuals were injured Monday morning when they were struck by an SUV while walking across the parking lot to a Cleveland restaurant.
The incident happened shortly after 11 a.m. at Sunflower Restaurant in the shopping center at 868 South Main Street.
“Two pedestrians were crossing the parking lot to go into Sunflower and just before making it across to the sidewalk, they were both struck by a small SUV,” said Cleveland Police Chief Jeff Shoemaker.
“Both pedestrians were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center,” Shoemaker said. “The driver of the SUV stated that the sun was in her eyes, and she was distracted by a younger child in the vehicle.”
