Britney Nelson. 19, was hit by a car at the corner of 6th Avenue and Harriet Street. Nelson was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.
She was upgraded to fair condition this morning, according to a hospital spokeswoman. She was also able to sit up in a chair while sipping water for the first time, according to an update on Caring Bridge.
