A Merrimack teen was issued a court summons after he hit someone with his car on Thursday.

At 5:49 p.m. Thursday, Merrimack Police responded to the parking lot of Gold's Gym at 515 D.W. Highway for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, police located a 2002 Honda Civic in front of Gold’s Gym and a subject lying on the ground in front of the vehicle, later identified as Stephanie Burant, 45, of Howe Street in Manchester.

Burant was conscious and alert, suffering from what appears to be a non-life-threatening injury. The Merrimack Fire Department transported her to Elliot Hospital in Manchester for evaluation.
