A 22-year-old man remains hospitalized in serious condition after being struck by a car early Sunday morning.
Jesse Ramirez Jr. was walking in the middle of a traffic lane in the 2200 block of East Fourth Street, according to a press release from Lubbock police. A Nissan Titan driven by Tara Annese Johnson drove up behind him in the eastbound lane.
Johnson told Lubbock police she moved to the left to get past Ramirez, thinking that he would go toward the curb to his right.
Instead, as Johnson was about to move to the left, Ramirez did, too.
