Van strikes pedestrian, causes critical injuries

A pedestrian was transported to University Medical Center in critical condition after being hit by a minivan on the valley’s east side Thursday afternoon.

It is unclear if the pedestrian was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the accident, and police have closed down the surrounding area while they investigate.

This is an ongoing investigation. Check back for updates.
