Sept. 17, 100 block of 45th Street, pedestrian injury. A woman with medically impaired vision told the Holmes Beach Police Department she fell into an opening in a sidewalk that had not been marked off for safety. The woman’s husband said he saw people installing fiber optic cables. He took his wife to a local hospital, where she was treated for a laceration on her leg, a toe injury and a ruptured blood vessel in her eye. A police officer found a fiber optics crew and was told the opening had not been marked off because work was ongoing there. The woman wanted her medical bills covered, according to a report.
