Two cars stopped for him, but he was hit in the far right lane by a 1997 four-door Saturn headed eastbound and driven by an 83-year-old man.
The pedestrian was transported to The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition, said Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for the Honolulu Emergency Services Department.
A stretch of North School Street, near Alaneo Street, was closed for hours this morning as police investigated. Speed and alcohol were not apparent factors in the crash.
The crosswalk in front of St. Theresa has no stoplight.
