in critical condition

A 9-year-old Hermitage girl injured when she was hit by a sport-utility vehicle was listed Friday in critical but stable condition at UPMC Children's Hospital, Pittsburgh, a hospital spokeswoman said.

McKenzie Fryman of 805 S. Keel Ridge Road was transferred there Thursday from St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, where she was treated after Wednesday's accident.

The fourth-grader and a friend ran across South Keel Ridge in the 700 block at about 3:45 p.m., police said. The boy made it, but McKenzie was hit by the SUV driven by Ernest Podleyon, 83, of 2040 S. Keel Ridge, police said.
