The 19-year-old was traveling east on Ensminger Road and was crossing the intersection of Millens Road and Ensminger at 5:23 a.m. when the accident occurred. 

The pedestrian was conscious after the accident, but suffered head injuries and was transferred to Erie County Medical Center.

“It was just bad luck, bad timing,” Bado said.

The names of the driver and victim are not being released.
