BART police received a call at about 5:45 p.m. Thursday that a pedestrian had been struck outside the station, located at 1401 San Leandro Blvd.

The pedestrian, a 63-year-old man, was taken to the hospital and was in "very critical" condition this morning, BART police spokeswoman Era Jenkins said.
