A Columbia College junior is in critical condition at St. Luke’s Hospital after being struck by a car at 1:20 a.m. on Sunday.
The 20-year-old male got out of a taxi at 106th Street and Broadway and began walking north across the street when a gray Mercedes-Benz sedan struck him. The car fled the scene, according to an NYPD spokesman.
A spokesperson for the Division of Student Affairs confirmed that the student goes to Columbia and that the office was in touch with his family.
The traffic light was green for the car, and the student was walking against the pedestrian signal, the NYPD spokesman said.
EMS and NYPD arrived at the scene, and the student, who had trauma to the head and body, was transported to Saint Luke’s. No arrests were made.
