An elderly woman was knocked unconscious Monday night when a driver struck her in a Berkeley crosswalk, according to early reports.

The crash took place just before 5:15 p.m. at Walnut and Cedar streets in [North Berkeley](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/north-berkeley/).

A Scanner reader passing through the area said the intersection had been blocked off by a half-dozen police cars, with officers measuring in the street.

Police said the woman had been in the crosswalk on the west side of the intersection when the northbound driver, a man in his 30s, struck her while turning left onto Cedar from Walnut.

The 95-year-old woman initially lost consciousness but came to after the crash, allowing first responders to speak with her, according to radio dispatches.

[Berkeley Fire](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-fire-department/) rushed her to Highland Hospital "Code 3" for treatment.

She was listed in critical but stable condition, [Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) said.

Police said the driver remained at the scene and impairment did not seem to have been a factor.
