A pedestrian suffered critical injuries after a driver allegedly ran onto a sidewalk and struck him near a light rail station in Minneapolis early Friday.

The crash happened around 1:30 a.m. Feb. 6 on the 1800 block of Franklin Avenue East.

Prosecutors charged 33-year-old Joshua Ryan Pendegayosh, of Minneapolis, with felony criminal vehicular operation causing great bodily harm. Authorities say Pendegayosh was driving in a grossly negligent manner when he struck the victim.

According to the criminal complaint, Minneapolis police were sent to the light rail transit station area on a report of a personal injury crash with a possible fatality and information that the driver had left the scene. When officers arrived, they found the vehicle down an embankment resting in the snow and still running after apparently striking a fence and part of the station structure.
