Another person who thought he could simply dash across a busy street found out the hard way overnight that its not as easy as it looks, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
The man is in extremely critical condition with head and chest injuries after he was hit by a car as he tried to run across a darkened stretch of Walters Street on the city's east side.
The woman driving the car said he 'just came out of nowhere' and she will not be charged.
As is nearly always the case in cases like this, police say there was a lighted and marked crosswalk less than five minutes away.
