CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — Two pedestrians were hit by a vehicle and were seen laying on the ground in Cheektowaga near the Walden Galleria. 

It happened shortly before 7:30 Friday morning on Walden Ave. near Duke Road.

Police say on-coming traffic had the green light when a man in his 60s and his son, in his 20s, were hit trying to cross the road.

A witness behind the car that struck the two men said the glare from the sun was so strong at that hour, the men couldn't be seen until the last second.

The victims were not identified. The father suffered a possible broken hip and his son a possible broken finger. The driver of the vehicle that hit them was not charged.
