A 55-year-old woman was injured Saturday when she was struck by an SUV while walking near Little Italy.

The accident occurred at 6:42 p.m. Saturday at West Cedar and State streets, according to San Diego police Officer Robert Heims.

A 53-year-old driver was westbound on Cedar in a 2003 GMC Yukon and stopped at a stop sign at the intersection. “He did not see the pedestrian and pulled forward and struck her,” Heims said.

Paramedics took the woman to a hospital for treatment of a fractured pelvis.

The crosswalk was not marked, he said. Alcohol was not believed to be involved in the incident, he said.
