Parts of Washington Circle remain closed after a female pedestrian was struck by a moving vehicle, city police and eyewitnesses said Tuesday.

Tremaine Hirper of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Office of Public Information confirmed that a female pedestrian had been struck, but could not give any more details on the incident or the victim and said she was not sure how long the street would be closed.

University spokeswoman Michelle Sherrard said in an e-mail Tuesday afternoon that the victim is not a student or employee of GW.

Two eyewitnesses confirmed that a female pedestrian was struck by a vehicle sometime before noon in Washington Circle.

Senior Larissa Pardo said she was on her way to work around 11 a.m. when she witnessed the incident, which she said occurred at the intersection of 23rd Street and Washington Circle.

“I thought it was a car hitting a trash can, and I looked over and I saw the back tires roll over this woman’s body,” she said. “She didn’t scream or anything, it was just me and this other woman started screaming and I called 911, but the hospital was right there. They just loaded her up on a stretcher.”

Pardo said she saw the victim hit by a green sport utility vehicle.

“When the police were interviewing the guy with the suburban that rolled over her, I was across the street and saw him shaking,” Pardo said, adding that it appeared the victim had been severely injured.
