A pedestrian was struck Wednesday afternoon in a hit-and-run on East Valencia and South Swan roads, authorities said.

The man is in serious condition and was treated by Rural/Metro Fire Department paramedics and taken to a hospital, said Deputy Cody Gress, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman, at 3:30 p.m.

Investigators said the vehicle is described as a mid-2000s tan Toyota sedan, possibly a Corolla.

The crash happened south of Valencia, Gress said. He said Valencia Road is not restricted to motorists.

Swan is shut down and motorists are asked to avoid the area.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline. ย
