A 91-year-old Dorchester man is facing life-threatening injuries after a motor vehicle crash Thursday morning, State Police said.
The victim was crossing Morton Street when he was struck by a 2007 BMW SUV. Its driver, a 62-year-old Dorchester man, pulled over and was interviewed by State Police detectives.
The victim was transported by Boston EMS to Beth Israel Hospital, where he remains in critical condition, police said.
Traffic was temporarily diverted from the intersection of Morton Street and West Selden Street at the time of the incident, police told Boston.com Thursday morning. All traffic lanes were reopened at the crash scene just after noon.
The investigation is ongoing “to determine whether criminal charges are warranted,” State Police said in a statement. Several units of State Police detectives are assigned to the case.
