Pedestrian Fatally Struck By Vehicle While Crossing Federal Boulevard
DENVER (CBS4) -- An adult male passed away shortly after being hit by a vehicle in the 5000 block of Federal Boulevard Saturday night, a spokesman with the Denver Police Department told CBS4.
DPD's Kurt Barnes said the pedestrian was pronounced at the scene.
The accident happened prior to 11 p.m. Saturday, Barnes said. The pedestrian was crossing mid-block and not in a crosswalk at an intersection.
The driver and vehicle that hit the pedestrian were not identified, and Barnes said preliminary information gathered by the department's investigators suggests the driver may not be at fault for the pedestrian's fatal collision. The driver stayed on scene and has not been cited or arrested at this time.
"The case will be presented to the district attorney's office for consideration of charges," Barnes explained.
The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner will release the identity of the deceased man after his relatives have been contacted and notified of his death.
