Deaf man trying to cross street hit by car
A deaf man trying to cross North Broadway was struck by a vehicle today, March 30 near the Warren County Fairgrounds.
Dianna Brown said her fiancee, Kenneth Martz, 31 was trying to cross the street around 3:20 p.m. when he was struck by a woman driving a Buick Park Avenue.
Brown said Martz often attempts to cross the five-lane roadway to visit a store.
Martz was transported by medical helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital from the accident, which closed North Broadway to southbound traffic. As of 6:40 p.m. Martz was still being treated in the emergency room of the hospital, according to a nursing supervisor.
Police did not release the identity of the woman driving the car, but said they didn’t expect to charge her in the accident. Police said they believe Martz did not see the car before he attempted to cross the street.
