WASHINGTON (AP) — A 61-year-old man is in critical condition after being hit by a car in northern Virginia.

National Park Service police say the man was hit in the northbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway just before the Spout Run exit around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say the car then fled.
