An 80-year-old Bethlehem man died after he was hit by a vehicle Wednesday night in the city.<\/p>\n
City police said the man was crossing at the south end of the intersection of Linden Street and Butztown Road when he was hit by a vehicle about 8:15 p.m. That area does not have a crosswalk, and has a \u201cno crossing\u201d sign, the department said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the vehicle had a steady green light when the crash happened, according to the release.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived to the area, the man was found unresponsive in the southbound lane of Linden Street, just south of the intersection. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with police.<\/p>\n
The crash remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed.
