BILLINGS — A 49-year-old Billings man will be cited with jaywalking after he walked into the eastbound lanes of Central Avenue in Billings on Sunday night and was hit by a car, according to Billings Police Sergeant Brett Becker.

The man was mostly struck by the driver's-side rear-view mirror, Becker said.

He was taken to a Billings hospital as a precaution, Becker said

The person who hit him was a 15-year-old girl from Billings who had her full drivers license.

She was eastbound on Central Avenue near the intersection of Florine Lane in the right-hand lane.

Police closed the eastbound lanes of Central Avenue for about a half hour while first responders cleared the scene
