Police say the male pedestrian was admitted to hospital with broken ribs and a lacerated lung, and two women in the vehicle involved in the head-on collision were transported to hospital with minor injuries.
They say a 30-year-old Severn, Ont., man was apprehended at the scene of the head-on collision.
He is charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, over 80, impaired causing bodily harm, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
