Pedestrian struck by car in Industry
INDUSTRY -- A man was rushed to a hospital with severe injuries Thursday after he was struck by a car while crossing the street, authorities said.
The crash was reported about 4 p.m. at Fullerton Road and San Jose Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Raymond Enriquez said.
The pedestrian, a 55-year-old Hacienda Heights man, was crossing eastbound across Fullerton Road when he was struck, the lieutenant said.
A Toyota Prius being driven by a woman in her 30s was making a left turn from San Jose Avenue onto Fullerton Road when it struck the man, Enriquez said.
The injuries were severe, he said, though the man's condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center was not clear late Thursday.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation, though deputies initially found "no signs of any criminal activity," Enriquez said.

Sounds as if he was crossing at an intersection. A T intersection, but an intersection nonetheless. If so, the driver should be facing charges.
