A 17-year-old Savannah woman is in critical condition after being struck by a car while attempting to walk across U.S. Highway 80 on Wilmington Island Thursday night.

Stacie Davis of a Wyckfield Road address was transported to Memorial University Medical Center after the 8:57 p.m. accident in front of the Whitemarsh Island Shopping Center.

"She was walking north in the crosswalk at U.S. 80 and Debbie Drive against the light and talking on a cell phone when she was struck by a westbound Honda Civic driven by a 26-year-old Savannah man," police say.
