Motor vehicle hit a female pedestrian who then needed a breathing tube put in on the scene. She was a 6 on the glasgow coma scale from 3-15 which shows her having a moderate-to-severe loss of consciousness

She was a pedestrian hit by a car and in critical condition.

(GCS is a scale of responsiveness and a six is a really low score)

Not just critical condition, but technically in a coma, with high possibility of severe brain damage. (Just further explaining the GCScore)
