An elderly woman was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after an SUV struck her Wednesday morning in Aspinwall.

Allegheny County Police said the woman was crossing Delafield Road near UPMC St. Margaret hospital about 7 a.m. when a motorist making a left turn from Freeport Road hit her.

The driver remained on the scene and is cooperating with investigators, police said.

Authorities did not name the victim or the driver.

Pittsburgh police, who responded to the incident, said the pedestrian is in her seventies.

The hospital stands on Freeport Road in Pittsburgh at the boundary with Aspinwall.

UPMC officials did not respond Wednesday to a phone call or email seeking comment.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
