Mercer County Outlook 
Thanks for the click-bait headline – “Car Pedestrian CRASH”.
Really???
Pedestrian walks away.
Car undamaged.
More Fake News but from a local reporter!
Thought we were better than that in Mercer County.

Not taking sides but for what it’s worth, although this release did come from the CPD, the headline apparently did not. Take for example the article posted on WCSM. Exact same release details but with this headline “Child struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning in Celina” Seems to portray a more accurate description of the accident, not?
