FROM THE CROSS TO THE CROSSWALK: Man Named Lord Jesus Christ Hit by Car

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) – The victim has probably forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Northampton crosswalk.

The police haven't.

Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed the street in Northampton.

Officers responding to Tuesday's incident checked the 50-year-old Belchertown man's ID and discovered that, indeed, Lord Jesus Christ is his legal name.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries.

Police say 20-year-old Brittany Cantarella was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
