A pedestrian critically injured in late October in Arlington died last week, according to a news release from the Arlington Police Department.
On Oct. 27, shortly after 7 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 5900 block of Kelly Elliott Road to investigate a reported crash, the release said.
On arriving, police said they found a man seriously injured after being struck by a sport utility vehicle. The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 10 days later.
Investigators determined that the driver of the SUV made a turn on a green turn signal and hit the man as he walked into the crosswalk.
