JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Jackson police say a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle around 8:00 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Highway 80 and South Gallatin Street.

A gray Pontiac Firebird sustained major damage to its front end.

The unidentified white male was knocked out of shoes.

He was transported to a local hospital.

So far, no word on the victims condition.
