Police say the driver of the vehicle was traveling south on Grand and had a green light. The woman, however, was not in a crosswalk at the time she was struck.

A bystander at the scene told FOX 2 the woman had just left a nearby bar before this happened. The area is located just south of Fairgrounds Park in the Jeff-Vander-Lou neighborhood.

EMS transported the woman to a hospital, where she is currently in critical condition. Police have not yet confirmed whether she will survive.

The driver of the Mercury remained at the scene and is cooperating with police. The car’s windshield was shattered in the impact, and the St. Louis Fire Department, police, and EMS all responded to the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Accident Reconstruction Team and the Evidence Technician Unit (ETU) were also called to the scene, indicating the severity of the woman’s injuries.

North Grand Boulevard was temporarily closed in both directions between Sullivan and Palm as investigators worked to process the scene. That section of road has since been reopened.

This is a developing story, Fox 2 will provide updates once information comes into the newsroom.
