A 75-year-old man was seriously injured Monday when he was hit by a Ford Expedition while he was crossing King Street East at Cochrane Road.

The incident happened Monday around 3 p.m., when a vehicle turning left from Cochrane Road struck him, police said. The man was in the crosswalk, Det. Matt Hewko said. The man was taken to hospital.

Hamilton police's collision reconstruction unit is investigating, and Hewko is hoping to talk with anyone who witnessed the east end collision. Police say neither speed nor alcohol were factors.
