UPDATE: There was an accident Tuesday near Kelly Walsh High School

18-year-old Kaylie Burch was walking with a group of friends in a crosswalk at South Walsh and Dorset when she was hit by a car driven by 24-year-old Trent Bolte.

Burch was taken to Wyoming Medical Center, but was not believed to be seriously injured.
