The accident happened last Wednesday shortly after 3.30pm when a silver Vauxhall Vectra collided with her when she stepped into its path.
She sustained serious head and eye injuries and a broken leg, and was taken to Southampton General Hospital.
The driver of the car, a 47-yearold local woman, was shocked but uninjured.
Police are asking anyone who saw the collision to ring 0845 045 4545.
