RALEIGH - A man was taken to WakeMed Raleigh Campus with serious injuries after being hit while walking on South Saunders Street near the Beltline on Tuesday afternoon.

According to a police report, Lisa Johnson Lewis, 28, of Kenly was turning into a parking lot off South Saunders Street when she stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the lot's entrance. When she stopped, the report states, the Kia Sedona minivan behind her did not, sending her Toyota 4Runner barreling over the pedestrian.

The pedestrian was transported to the hospital with injuries that appeared to be life-threatening, according to Raleigh Police Department spokesman Jim Sughrue.

The driver of the Kia minivan, Janechka Richards Nunn, 32, of Apex, was cited by police officers for failure to control speed, Sughrue said.
