A pedestrian struck by two cars late Saturday night is fighting for life.

The victim, who was not in the crosswalk, was taken to Creighton University Medical Center for treatment of a fractured skull and broken pelvis.
The driver of the second vehicle to hit him, 19-year-old Gerardo Mendoza of Omaha, was ticketed for not having a license or valid registration.
