Caitlyn Fenn, 28, of Hyannis was arrested by police following the pedestrian crash shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday in the 500 block of Main Street.

Police say Fenn was driving a brown 2001 Volvo station wagon when she struck a 24-year-old Hyannis man who was crossing the street. The impact shattered the windshield of the Volvo.

The man was sent to Cape Cod Hospital with head and leg injuries that police believe to be not life-threatening.
