TEXARKANA, Texas (KSLA) – An elderly man was hit by a car while trying to push a shopping cart down Robinson Road.

On October 28, at 8 pm, the Texarkana Texas Police Department responded to a report of a person struck by a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers learned that a 69-year-old man was pushing a shopping cart and attempting to cross Robinson Road when he stopped in front of a 2014 Chevrolet Cruz.

The man driving the Cruz stopped his car immediately after hitting the victim, but the victim was trapped under the car at that time.

The Texarkana Texas Fire Department was able to use a jack to lift the victim’s car.

The victim was taken to a hospital. He was later airlifted to another medical center due to his serious condition.

“There does not appear to be anything the 30-year-old driver could have done to avoid the accident. Please keep these two men in your thoughts today,” the Texarkana Texas Police Department said.
