Two Marion women escaped serious injury Friday morning when one of the women was grazed by a car as they crossed Main Street.

Eva J. Cooper, 82, 315 N. Second St. and Lila Annette Hoffman, 88, 203 N. Second St., both of Marion, were walking in a crosswalk at Second and Main streets at 8:05 a.m. Friday, when Julie A. Scheideman, 45, 314 S. First St., Marion, was eastbound on Main Street in a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The car drove through the crosswalk, grazing Cooper, causing her to fall backward and into Hoffman who also fell.

Both women were transported to St. Luke Hospital with possible injuries.

It is believed that the sun may have been in the eyes of Scheideman who did not see the pedestrians.
