Man hospitalised after walking in front of car at busy intersection

Their head hit the front windscreen of a white Suzuki hatchback driving on Chapel Street.

The middle-aged man was crossing the busy road at the intersection with Hargreaves Street.

He had made his way through the traffic that had banked up in the left hand lane, Bendigo Highway Patrol's Leading Senior Constable Todd Deary said.

"As he stepped into the right hand lane a car's come through," he said of the moment of impact.

Several members of the public moved him out of the lane and onto the side of the road where paramedics and members of the nearby fire station gathered to help.

The man was conscious when he was loaded into an ambulance a short time ago.

Paramedics planned to take him to Bendigo Hospital to assess his head injury.

Police currently have no plans to charge the badly shaken driver or the pedestrian.

It was a dangerous time of day to cross that section of Chapel Street given the lower light levels, Leading Senior Constable Deary said.

He urged people to walk the short distance to the McCrae Street intersection.
