A man struck by a vehicle Friday night while walking across South Elm Street near the intersection with Ila Road was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center where he was listed in critical condition with a fractured skull and other injuries.

Trooper Matt Miles said Isabel Perez-Amaro, 41, of Maysville, ran across the road in front of a Ford Ranger pickup truck driven by Timothy Howell, Maysville early Friday night.

“The driver was not at fault in anything,” Miles pointed out.

Perez-Amaro, 41, suffered from a fractured skull and other injuries, according to a paramedic on the scene. Miles said he was taken into surgery that night and is reported to be in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Athens Regional Medical Center.

Miles said it has not yet been determined whether alcohol might have been involved. The trooper said he took a blood sample, but he also indicated that no charges will be filed against Perez-Amaro.
