A 36-year-old man was critically injured when he was struck by a car while crossing a Riverside street, authorities said Monday.
The crash occurred about 10 p.m. Sunday in the area of Magnolia Avenue and Skofstad Street, according to Riverside police Sgt. Emilio Angulo.
A 34-year-old Corona resident was driving a 1999 Mercedes Benz westbound on Magnolia Avenue between Skofstad Street and La Sierra Avenue when he struck the pedestrian, Angulo said.
Paramedics took both men to Riverside Community Hospital where the pedestrian remained in critical condition and the driver was medically cleared, arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center for suspicion of DUI, he said.
