A fine how-do-you-do; Woman hit by car in crosswalk gets the ticket(s)

Well pedestrian accident fans, we've got a doozy for you this morning. Katlyn Menge was either trying to cross Tonnelle at Carlton or she lost her balance and stumbled out into traffic but was hit by a man in a Nissan Pathfinder (Why do Pathfinders hate Americans?) and sadly suffered a possible hip and leg fracture and she might have been suffering internal bleeding. She was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center. It was there where police cited Ms. Menge for failing to use the marked crosswalk, improper crossing of a roadway and obstructing public passage.

Now we don't doubt Ms. Menge DESERVED the tickets but in a case like this sometimes the punishment already fits the crime as we just have a hunch after she recovers Ms. Menge will be VERY careful before walking into traffic again.
