A 56-year-old man was slightly injured after being hit by a car at the corner of South Winooski and Bank streets Sunday, said Burlington police.

Police said they responded to the scene at about 6:47 p.m. to find the pedestrian in the road, and the driver of the car that hit him standing by.

According to witnesses, the man, who was wearing camouflage clothing, was not in a crosswalk and walking against the light when he tried to cross South Winooski Avenue.

The man was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The driver of the car was not injured.

This is not a good article. This is just a common incident with a clever misleading picture. I am sure the man that was struck by the car wasn’t dressed like the man that is shown. I know you were being funny but this type of thing is done in the media all the time for hostile reasons. You guys are too cool for this kind of thing. Sorry.

I read the original article and remembered this photo. This was too easy not to combine them.
