A 92-year-old woman was hit by a car while walking across a major street in the Midway District and was hospitalized Wednesday with life-threatening injuries.

The woman was not using the crosswalk in a dimly lit area in the 4000 block of Sports Arena Boulevard at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday when she was hit by a Nissan SUV being driven by a 40-year-old man, San Diego Police Sgt. David Jennings said.

She was taken by paramedics to a local hospital.
