A 73-year-old woman remained in critical condition at a Provo hospital Saturday evening after she was hit by a car earlier in the afternoon near a busy city intersection. The woman was struck in a crosswalk by a car about 1:45 p.m., according to a news release from the Provo Police Department. A 21-year-old man driving a black Toyota Tundra, who was eastbound on Paul Ream Avenue, was stopped at a red light and was preparing to turn right onto University Avenue. He apparently did not see the elderly woman in front of him because he was checking traffic to his left, the news release states. The driver turned right and struck the woman at a low speed. She fell to the ground and was later transported to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center with head trauma, the release states. The names of the driver and the victim were not immediately released.
