A man was critically injured after police said a woman intentionally struck him with a vehicle in Pittsburgh's Homewood North neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.

Pittsburgh police from Zone 5 were called shortly before 4 p.m. to the intersection of Stranahan Street and Myrtle Avenue for a report of a vehicle crash involving a pedestrian.

Officers found an adult male with substantial injuries to his lower extremities that were consistent with being struck by a vehicle, police said.
