A woman is in critical condition after being struck by a car Wednesday evening in Woodstock, according to the Woodstock Fire-Rescue District.

The fire and rescue district responded to a call at 5:48 p.m. to the area of Route 47 and Irving Avenue for a pedestrian struck by a car, communication specialist Alex Vucha said.

First responders arrived at the scene within two minutes to find “an adult female laying on the ground suffering from various traumatic injuries,” Vucha said.

The woman was taken to a medical helicopter that landed at the Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital helipad. She then was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville in critical condition, Vucha said.
