Chattanooga: Two pedestrians hit by vehicles Monday

Chattanooga police investigated two accidents Monday involving pedestrians getting struck by moving vehicles.

About 11 a.m., a 12-year-old male was riding his bike when he was hit by a vehicle at Old Mission Road, police said.

Officer Rebecca Royval later said the child rode in front of the vehicle. He was transported to the hospital by emergency workers with what appeared to be nonlife-threatening injuries, she said.

The other incident was more complicated. About 5:10 p.m., police were dispatched to the 3200 block of Thru Street at Greenwood Avenue. The dispute stemmed from a repossession of a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe that belonged to Tia Thomas of 1308 Tunnel Blvd.

According to investigators, Gary Phillips of TowCo Recovery was attempting to repossess the Tahoe when Ms. Thomas jumped in the SUV and drove off.
