Video shows the woman and her dog using the crosswalk on 5th Street when a white pick-up, believed to be a Ford F-150, makes a left hand turn off Berks Street and strikes them without stopping.
The woman was rushed by ambulance to Jefferson University Hospital where she was placed in critical condition, according to police.
Authorities called specific attention to the truck's damaged driver's side taillight, and what appears to be landscaping debris in the truck bed.
