A 19-year-old Bremerton man who tried to cross State Route 303 without using a crosswalk was struck by a car and transported by aircraft to Harborview Medical Center to be treated for his injuries Sept. 29.
According to a Washington State Patrol report, Nestor C. Gatchalian, 19, of Bremerton, and another pedestrian, 24-year-old Bremerton man, tried to walk west to east across SR303 at the intersection with Dawn Road at 7:58 p.m.
There was no crosswalk at the intersection.
At that time, a 17-year-old Bremerton boy was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt sedan northbound on SR303. The boy had two adult passengers from Bremerton.
The Chevrolet struck Gatchalian, but the other pedestrian was able to cross without incident.
The driver pulled over on the right shoulder. Everyone inside the vehicle were wearing seat belts and were not injured. The northbound lanes were blocked for about four hours.
The car had reportable damage and was impounded.
According to the WSP report, no charges are pending.
