A 29-year-old Redding woman was injured Tuesday night when she was struck by a car while crossing the 100 block of Lake Boulevard in a wheelchair.
Shannon Wood was taken by ambulance to Shasta Regional Medical Center after the 7 p.m. crash.
Redding officer Michele Cox said Wood, who was not in a crosswalk and was wearing dark clothes, was struck by a car driven by Kenneth Tipp, 20, of Cottonwood.
Tipp apparently was trying to pull into a gas station mini mart when the accident occurred, a witness said.
Although Tipp tried to stop, he could not avoid striking her, Cox said.
The accident remains under investigation, she said.
