Steamboat Springs — A Steamboat Springs woman suffered serious injuries after being hit by a pickup Thursday night.

At about 6 p.m., Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue firefighters and police officers responded to the intersection of Downhill Drive and Elk River Road.

Police Commander Jerry Stabile said Jennifer Garrett, 35, was walking east across Elk River Road, when she was hit by a pickup that had a plow on the front.

The woman was taken to Yampa Valley Medical Center. On Friday, a YVMC spokeswoman said Garrett had been transferred to another hospital. It was unknown whether her injuries were life-threatening.

Stabile said there are indicators that Garrett had been drinking alcohol. He did not know where Garrett was walking to.
