A vehicle struck a pedestrian at the corner of Classon and Flushing Avenues earlier this morning.

According to the New York City Fire Department, the victim was found lying on the ground at 10:23am and transported to Woodhull Hospital.

The victim suffered minor leg injuries, fire officials said.

Increased commercial traffic down Classon Avenue from the Atlantic Yards construction has been the subject of concern in recent weeks, as many residents have begun to complain about noise, safety and obstruction.

The corridor, which is the focus of planned "traffic calming" measures by the city Department of Transportation, connects much of Central Brooklyn with the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
