A man was left with serious injuries after he was struck by a car while trying to cross an Allied Gardens roadway, police said.

Just before 7:30 a.m., a 28-year-old man was crossing the 6700 block of Mission Gorge Road, heading west, when he stepped off the center divider into the path of a 1999 Toyota Camry driven by a 30-year-old man, San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros said.

The pedestrian suffered a fractured lower leg, injuries to his face and head trauma, Delimitros said. His injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.

The crash was still under investigation as of Sunday afternoon.
