Texarkana PD said detectives used video from nearby cameras to determine that a man was walking through a church parking lot in the 300 block of W. 25th Street at around 6 p.m. on Sunday when a silver Kia left the road and accelerated before hitting him.
The man who was hit by the Kia was found on Monday morning, across the street from where he was hit, at one of the doors to Highland Park Elementary, according to Texarkana PD. He had severe injuries and was taken to a local ICU where he's currently in critical condition.
A Texarkana PD detective was canvassing a neighborhood just four blocks away from the crash scene when officials said they found a heavily-damaged Kia at the residence of Patrick Cridell, Jr., 32.
Texarkana PD said their investigation progressed enough to arrest Cridell for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Cridell was then booked into the Bi-State Jail.
