Walker hit by minivan gets ticket for being in road LORAIN, OHIO–Cheryl Gyorfi is in a Cleveland hospital recovering from injuries she suffered when she reportedly was struck by a minivan while walking along West Erie Avenue Monday night. She could also find herself in a Lorain courtroom in the not too distant future for a ticket she received for walking in a roadway where prohibited, according to police. Gyorfi, who was walking along the road as she went to buy a pack of cigarettes, had no place else to walk because the shoulder of the road is blocked with snow, according to family members. Gyorfi’s family thinks the minivan’s driver, who was not cited, should have been more alert on the road. But they are also outraged that Gyorfi was cited.

Talk about adding insult to injury!

Update: The local news just ran this story, and the City of Lorain has dismissed the ticket; but the minivan driver has not been ticketed or charged. A civil suit may be pending.
