OROVILLE, CA (February 10, 2020) – A vehicle struck and injured a man on Veatch Street in Oroville on February 7.
 
At about 11:44 a.m., a man started to cross Veatch Street at Mitchell Avenue. He then got hit by a northbound Ford Focus, Officer Breck Wright of the Oroville Police Department revealed.

Staying within your respective lane on the street is an extremely important rule of the road.
