The pedestrian was crossing Christopher Lane in the Graniteville section around 9:30 a.m. when she was struck by the Time Warner van, turning from Victory Boulevard.

The driver jumped out of the vehicle and performed first aid until an ambulance arrived.

The woman was taken to Richmond University Medical Center, where she is listed in critical condition.
