ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington police are investigating a crash that killed a 68-year-old man.
Officers responded Tuesday around 9 p.m. to the intersection of S. Cooper St. and Lovers Lane, the Arlington Police Department said in a press release. There, they found the man, who has not yet been identified, lying unresponsive in the road. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
Police said the driver of the 2015 Toyota Avalon that hit the man immediately stopped and is cooperating with the investigation. He is currently not facing any charges.
During the investigation, officers learned the 68-year-old man was attempting to cross Cooper St. when he was hit by the Avalon that was headed northbound. The driver of the Avalon said he did not see the man before the crash. Police said the man was not in a crosswalk and was not wearing any bright or reflective clothing at the time of the crash.
As the investigation continues, Arlington police are reminding pedestrians to always use designated crosswalks or traffic signals when attempting to cross roadways, especially at night when visibility is reduced.
