A Lincoln Town Car struck a pedestrian at 12:15 a.m. Monday on Route 120 in McHenry Township, leaving her in critical condition, according to the McHenry County Sheriff's Office.

Police said the 1997 car was heading eastbound in a business area east of Hill Road when it hit 45-year-old Darla Wilkinson, who was walking westbound in a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.

The driver of the Lincoln, Wauconda resident Joan M. Pahlman, was sober and was not injured, she said.

The incident remains under investigation.
