A Pitman man who was traveling along Kings Highway on Sunday night was struck and knocked to the ground by a driver who didn't see him.
According to West Deptford Police, Michael Hebrans, 35, was wearing dark clothing as he walked along Kings Highway near the intersection of Jessup Road a little before 8 p.m.
The driver of a Chevrolet Malibu headed south on Kings Highway did not see Hebrans, but heard a noise upon impact and stopped. Emergency responders transported Hebrans to Cooper University Hospital in Camden for evaluation.
Police said Hebrans did not seem injured at the scene, and he was reported to be in stable condition after his transport. By mid-day Monday, a spokesperson from Cooper confirmed that Hebrans had been discharged from the hospital.
Police have not released the name of the driver of the vehicle.

Did not seem injured? That explains the 8 police cars and the ambulance that shut down kings highway for half and hour. That's a very dangerous section of road with little shoulder and no sidewalk. I'm glad he's ok.

People need to stop walking in the streets & use the sidewalks or at least walk on the grass not the roadway. Then compounding the problem is the use of dark clothing & lack of street lighting.

I'm glad for him he's okay. That too had to be scary for the driver. That stretch of road is dangerous. Very little sidewalks & very poor lighting.
It's a good thing he was not killed.
