A McAfee Towers resident was hit by a car Friday morning as he rode an electric cart into the parking lot.

Macon-Bibb County Fire and paramedics were called to 1212 Gray Highway before noon to treat Michael Summer, 56, who injured his leg, according to Bibb County sheriff’s Lt. Randy Gonzalez.

Summer talked to the driver of the silver Chevrolet HHR and the men exchanged information and Summer returned to his room, not realizing the extent of his injury due to sensitivity issues with his leg.

After an ambulance was called, he was taken to Medical Center, Navicent Health, to be treated for a fractured leg.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the accident.
