MARION, Ind. – On January 27, 2020 at approximately 7:56 pm, Marion Police responded to the 4500 Block of South
Adams Street for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
Kammi Bishop, age 32, reported she was headed home from work and was southbound on Adams
St. driving her 2003’ Ford, Expedition. Bishop reported that she was talking to her husband on her
cell phone when all of a sudden she heard a “thud” and realized she had struck someone. Bishop
reported that she immediately stopped and called 911. Bishop reported that she did not see anyone
on the roadway due how dark it was through the area.
The victim was identified as Pamela Turner, age 60. Turner sustained a severe head injury, and had
a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath. It appeared that Turner (wearing
dark colored clothing) attempted to cross Adams Street at an area where a crosswalk was not
designated. Turner was transported to a hospital in Indianapolis where she remains is in critical
condition.
Police do not suspect that alcohol was a factor by the driver of the vehicle.
