He was struck by a 1996 Ford Explorer operated by a 50-year-old woman from Bristol whose name is not being released at this time.

The pedestrian was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital with serious injuries.

He was later transferred to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon.

Police did not identify the man who was injured.

Meredith police were assisted by Center Harbor, Moultonborough and state police.
