On Jan. 1 at approximately 8:23 p.m. Scottsbluff police were dispatched to the area of 10th Avenue and East Overland in response to what was reported as a “vehicle vs. pedestrian” crash.

An intoxicated male was leaning against the stop sign at that intersection.

"A vehicle prepared to turn onto East Overland and was stopped at the same intersection," Scottsbluff Police Cpl. Royce Massie said. "As the vehicle began to turn onto East Overland, the male stumbled into the side of the vehicle, resulting in no injury to himself and no damage to the vehicle."

The driver was not issued a citation and the pedestrian refused medical treatment.
