Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said Thursday the woman is in critical condition at University of Michigan Hospital, where she was taken after being struck by a green Chevrolet Cavalier.
Witnesses said Wednesday the woman was crossing at a pedestrian crosswalk on Plymouth Road east of Traverwood and west of Nixon. The crosswalk has flashing lights that turn on when a pedestrian hits a button on either side of the road to alert drivers someone is going to enter the road.
According to witnesses, the lights were flashing when the woman entered the crosswalk. The driver of the Cavalier did not appear to see the woman when she was crossing the street.
The woman was hit in the crosswalk and ended up lying face down in the median between the eastbound and westbound lanes. The Cavalier stopped about 30 feet east of the crosswalk.
The Cavalier showed heavy damage to the front end and a circular impact point on the windshield where the glass was cracked.
The injured woman appears to be about student age, witnesses said.
Police did not release more information about the crash Thursday. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Any witnesses are encouraged to call police at 734-794-6939.
