AUGUSTA — An Augusta man walking across Hospital Street on Thursday night was struck and injured by a SUV, police said.
John Boivin, 57, was crossing the street on foot when he was struck by a 2012 Toyota RAV4 sport utility vehicle being driven by Mark Lawrence, 23, of Augusta, according to police.
Boivin was taken by ambulance to MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta, then to Maine Medical Center in Portland, according to Augusta police Sgt. Jesse Brann.
Brann did not have information on the severity or nature of Boivin’s injuries Friday morning, but a Maine Medical Center spokesperson said Friday Boivin was listed in critical condition.
Brann said it did not appear that charges are expected to be filed in the crash.
The collision occurred adjacent to 155 Hospital St., which is the Bread of Life’s shelter facility.
Brann said it was dark at the time of the crash and there is no crosswalk at that location.
The crash is being reconstructed by police.
