A 55-year-old Huntington Beach man remains in critical condition at

UCI Medical Center with a fractured pelvis and fractured ribs after he

was hit last week at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Graham Street

in Huntington Beach.

Mark Delafuente was walking his dog south on Graham and crossing

Warner at 8:15 a.m., July 15 when a 1998 silver Mitsubishi Eclipse

heading west on Warner ran a red light and was broadsided by a red 1995

Honda Civic, police said.

The crash caused the driver of the Mitsubishi, Lisa Piho, to lose

control and careen into Delafuente, said Officer Bob Barr. Piho wasn’t

injured, and no arrests have been made in the case.

The Eclipse continued to skid sideways after hitting Delafuente. It

hit the rear left side of a black 1993 Honda Civic before finally coming

to rest west of the intersection, Barr said.

The driver of the red Honda Civic, 37-year-old Huntington Beach

resident Sharon Hall, was treated and released from Hoag Memorial

Hospital Presbyterian with minor injuries, including whiplash.

The driver of the black Civic, Bethany Holder, 24, of Huntington

Beach, was not injured.
