A woman was hospitalized with critical injuries Friday when a motorist struck her on a La Quinta street, prompting an off-duty firefighter to help her, a sheriff's sergeant said.
The unidentified woman tried crossing Fred Waring Drive near Dune Palms Road when she was hit, Riverside County sheriffs Sgt. Randy Wedertz said.
The firefighter -- also unidentified -- apparently was in the area and rendered first aid to the injured woman before paramedics arrived.
She was listed in critical condition, Wedertz said.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. I…Read More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are you…Read More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is further…Read More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
