Pedestrian struck in Lancaster while crossing at non-intersection. We remind our residents to never cross mid street! 
Last night, Deputies responded to a call for service of a vehicle versus pedestrian traffic collision near 20th Street East and East Avenue J-2. Deputies learned the pedestrian walked east across 20th Street East at a non-intersection. The driver was driving south on 20th Street East, did not see the pedestrian and struck them. (The pedestrian was pushing a stroller with items, no child was in the stroller). The pedestrian was transported to the hospital and is in grave condition/death imminent. The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative with the investigation.
Any way you look at this situation, it is tragic. We take this time to remind our residents to please only cross at marked, well lit crosswalks. Do not EVER cross in the middle of the street.
This was clearly an accident, but unfortunately the driver will carry a heavy burden, as will the family of the pedestrian. Please remind your teens, family members and loved ones to never cross mid street or run across traffic.
Our hearts are with the families of both parties involved.
