A man is in hospital in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle at Waterloo Street and Central Avenue on Friday night, London police say.

Police tell Global News the light was green in the direction facing the driver when the pedestrian “stepped into the roadway against the crosswalk signal in his direction” just north of Central Avenue.

The pedestrian was struck by a vehicle at roughly 9 p.m. Friday. Police say paramedics transported the man to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

As of Monday morning, he remains in hospital in critical condition.

The intersection was closed as part of the investigation until just after 12 a.m. Saturday.
