ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington police say a man has died after he was hit by a car while trying to cross the street Monday night.
The department responded to the incident shortly before 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 9 in the 900 block of West Pioneer Parkway near Cooper Street in Arlington.
When they got there, officers found the 67-year-old pedestrian unresponsive on the side of the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.
Investigators believe the man was trying to cross Pioneer Parkway when he was hit by the vehicle. Police say he was not using a designated crosswalk.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Officer will name the victim once his family has been notified.
“The Arlington Police Department reminds the public that pedestrians should always use traffic lights and designated crosswalks when crossing roadways,” police said in a news release. “Cutting across a roadway is dangerous at all times of the day, but particularly when it’s dark outside and visibility is reduced.”
