A pedestrian is suing a driver after being run over by the driver. At trial, a copy of a hospital record is offered into evidence. The record indicates that hospital personnel took the pedestrian's statement 30 minutes after the accident, and includes the following statement: "The pedestrian's leg was run over by a car." The driver's counsel objects to the admission of the pedestrian's statement in the hospital record.

Should the court admit the pedestrian's statement in the record? Explain
