New York’s Staten Island. According to police, a 68-year-old man was critically injured Monday morning after he was hit by an SUV while crossing the street in West Brighton.

A spokesman for the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said the pedestrian collision occurred just after 6:30 a.m. near Forest Avenue and Raymond Place.

The 68-year-old man was hit by a white Mazda CX-9 when he was crossing Raymond Place in the crosswalk on Forest Avenue, according to the NYPD’s Highway District Collision inquiry Squad’s preliminary inquiry. When the collision happened, the 65-year-old driver was trying to turn left from Forest into Raymond, according to the police spokeswoman.

According to authorities, the pedestrian was transported by emergency medical services to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton after suffering a head injury.

The Mazda’s driver stayed on the scene.

The inquiry is still ongoing.

At first, the NYPD gave the collision victim a different age.
