BOISE -- A southwestern Idaho lawmaker is on the mend after being struck by a car while crossing a street outside the Capitol.
Rep. Darrell Bolz, a Republican from Caldwell, says his foot is swollen but not broken after the accident at 7 a.m. Thursday on State Street, which is narrower than usual due to construction barriers.
Bolz has resorted to crutches after seeking medical attention at an urgent care facility.
Bolz was crossing in a crosswalk near the lone Capitol entrance now open to the public as work crews put the finishing touches on $120 million in renovations.
He says, "I stepped out one step and 'Wham.' I'm not blaming anybody at this point in time."
The car's driver stopped to inquire if he was OK.
Bolz didn't call Boise Police, though an Idaho State Police officer who helps supervise Capitol security has asked him to issue a statement.
