The incident happened Monday afternoon just after 3:30.
The Jeep was driven by Jason Marshall, 31, of Barkhamsted. Marshall was driving north on Route 7 and approaching the intersection with Beebe Hill Road.
Oyanadell was walking on Beebe Hill Road towards the intersection. As Marshall approached, Oyanadell ran into the cross walk without stopping at the intersection to check for traffic.
