A man is in critical condition in a hospital this morning after being hit by a car on Virginia Beach Boulevard.

The man, described by police as being in his 50s, was walking a bicycle across the street about 11 p.m. in the 6000 block of E. Virginia Beach Blvd. when he was hit by a vehicle that was headed east, said Chris Amos, police spokesman.

The man, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were considered life-threatening.

The crash is under investigation, Amos said, but no charges are pending against the driver.

Investigators believe that the man who was hit could have been drinking before the crash, Amos said.
