A 41-year-old homeless woman is in critical condition after she was hit by a car on lower Milpas Street near Quinientos Street.
The accident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. when the woman, riding a bicycle, was hit by a Dodge Charger travelling northbound, said Sgt. Mike McGrew.
The victim suffered severe head trauma and is on life support. It’s not yet clear if she was riding across the road or travelling with traffic, but there’s no indication the driver was under the influence. He’s been fully cooperative with authorities, said McGrew.
Investigators are currently on the scene piecing together the details of the accident. The victim’s name won’t be released until her family is notified.
