Givens critically hurts pedestrian
Actress Robin Givens struck and critically injured an 89-year-old pedestrian in a crosswalk, Miami police said Thursday.
Givens, a star of the 1980s TV comedy “Head of the Class” and the ex-wife of boxer Mike Tyson, struck Maria Antonia Alcover with her sport utility vehicle Wednesday as the elderly woman was crossing a busy intersection during rush hour, police spokesman Delrish Moss said.
Givens, 39, of New York, was issued a traffic summons for failing to use due care when a pedestrian was in the crosswalk. “We’re looking at it as a pure accident, and we don’t expect any additional criminal charges whatsoever,” Moss said.
