MARINE PARK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A young woman was hit by a bus stop pole when a car jumped the curb in Brooklyn Friday afternoon.

It happened at E. 36th Street and Fillmore Avenue in the Marine Park section around 2:14 p.m.

The driver of Mercedes tried to avoid hitting the vehicle, but then jumped the curb and hit a bus stop pole for B-100.

The pole hit a pedestrian, and it's not yet clear if she was waiting for bus or walking by.

The 22-year-old woman is in critical condition at Kings County Hospital.

The driver of Black Mercedes stayed at the scene.
