CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A man is in the hospital after he was hit by a driver in Chesterfield County on Thursday, with police saying he was found in a ditch. Just before 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21, officers with the Chesterfield County Police Department were called to the 7700 block of Route 1 for report of a pedestrian struck. When they arrived, officers found a man in the ditch adjacent to the roadway. According to police, he had been walking along the side of the road at the time he was hit. He was taken to a local hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The driver, who left the scene following the crash, returned shortly after police arrived. They are cooperating with officers. Route 1 in Chesterfield has seen multiple pedestrian-involved crashes in recent months, with three out of four of them being deadly. In September, a 47-year-old cyclist and a 74-year-old pedestrian were both killed within two days of one another. In October, a 65-year-old pedestrian was hit and killed in the 7800 block -- just one hundred-block away from Thursday night's incident. Most recently, in early November, a pedestrian went to the hospital after he was hit by an SUV. The Chesterfield Police Department continues to investigate Thursday night's crash. No additional information is available at this time.
