KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A pedestrian was rushed to the hospital early Wednesday after being struck by a car.

Kansas City, Missouri, police said officers were called around 1 a.m. to the intersection of Linwood Boulevard and Benton Boulevard.

Police report the pedestrian was struck by a dark-colored 2013 to 2016 Chevrolet Malibu while walking from the north side of Linwood to the south side.

The vehicle, which was traveling at a high rate of speed, failed to stop after striking the pedestrian, continuing west on Linwood.

Police said car parts came from the front right of the Malibu, meaning the vehicle will have damage to that area in addition to possible damage to its hood and windshield.

The victim sustained serious injuries but is expected to survive.
