A driver struck a 67-year-old man as he attempted to cross Ralph Avenue Friday night, sending him to Brookdale hospital in critical condition, cops said.

Police were called to the scene near E. 64th Street at 7 pm, where they found the older man clinging to life on the roadway.

The woman behind the wheel remained at scene, and informed police she was heading north on Ralph Avenue when she struck the man crossing the street.

The victim’s injuries were severe, but not considered life-threatening at the time paramedics rushed him to Brookdale, an FDNY spokesman said.

The driver was not arrested or charged with any crimes at the scene, according to police.
