An 18-year-old Bremerton High School student is reportedly in stable condition after being struck by a vehicle Tuesday evening at a crosswalk on 13th St. and Lincoln Ave., according to the Bremerton Police Department.

A BPD press release states the student was walking southbound on 13th St. wearing dark clothing, with headphones in. As he was midway through the crosswalk, he was struck by a passenger vehicle driven by a woman in her 70’s.
