A 74-year-old woman was hit Wednesday night while crossing Roosevelt Boulevard. The driver fled the scene.

A 74-year-old woman is in critical condition after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver while crossing Roosevelt Boulevard near Cottman Avenue, authorities said.

Police said the crash occurred around 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, in the outer southbound lanes of the Boulevard.

The woman was hit so hard that she was launched over a four-foot fence separating the lanes, according to multiple media reports. She was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, authorities said.
