Waikato police Senior Sergeant Juliet Burgess said the woman was crossing Hangatiki Rd (State Highway 3), about 8.30am today when she was hit.
Initially, the woman's condition appeared stable, but a St John Ambulance spokesperson said her condition had since deteriorated.
The victim is being flown to Waikato Hospital by the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance in a serious condition.
