The victim, identified only as a Corona resident, was struck shortly before 8 a.m. at Eucalyptus and University avenues, near downtown, according to the Riverside Police Department.

Sgt. Tim Jensen said the woman was walking northbound on Eucalyptus and entered the crosswalk at University when a southbound Honda Civic initiated a left turn onto University from Eucalyptus, plowing into the victim.

The motorist, identified only as a 29-year-old Riverside man, immediately stopped, Jensen said.

Riverside Fire Department paramedics arrived within minutes and found the pedestrian with extensive injuries. She was taken to Riverside Community Hospital in critical condition, according to the sergeant.

He said the motorist was questioned but not arrested.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Major Accident Investigation Team at 951-826-8720.
