A Rome woman was treated for injuries sustained as a result of a car-pedestrian accident in the Town of Westmoreland.

Deputies say Bruce Converse of Rome was driving North on State Route 26 when he observed a person in the roadway. Police say after conversations with Converse they determined he tried to avoid the woman, but was unable to.
