UPDATE: The student is in stable condition and is home from the hospital, Daisy Giselle Costilla-Jaimes, the victim’s girlfriend said.

A Chico State student was hit by a car, driven by another student, while crossing the intersection of Second  and Ivy Streets. 

Their names have not been released at this time. 

The victim was transported by ambulance to a hospital. 

The driver said his vision was impacted by the setting sun, University Police Chief Chris Nicodemus said.

Witnesses told UPD the driver turned on a green light while the victim also had the signal to cross.

Both the driver and the victim were men, said UPD Lieutenant Davison.

Nicodemus said that the streets around campus are busy and drivers and pedestrians need to be cautious. 

“Don’t assume the right away,” Nicodemus said.

The Orion will continue updating this story as more information becomes available.
