PORTSMOUTH — An 83-year-old female pedestrian suffered “multiple traumatic injuries” after she was struck by a car early Friday evening.

On Monday morning, Deputy Fire Chief Michael O'Brien said the patient "continues to be treated at Rhode Island Hospital ICU today for significant injuries."

The accident took place on East Main Road near Quaker Hill Lane, according to the Portsmouth Fire Department, which received 911 calls about the incident at 5:49 p.m.

“An ambulance and fire engine arrived within minutes to find an 83-year-old female down with multiple traumatic injuries,” said Deputy O’Brien in a prepared statement. “The patient was conscious at the scene but her injuries are considered life-threatening.  

“The patient (was) transported from the scene by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital. Crews were clear of the scene after 30 minutes.”
