According to the incident report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, another pedestrian said the light was green when the man walked into the crosswalk and was nearly struck by one car before being hit by another.
Grady medical personnel said the victim was stable, but could not recall the incident so he was transported to the hospital.
Other witnesses said the driver stopped several yards away from the crash, according to the incident report, but then drove off.
