A pedestrian on East Washington Avenue was struck and killed by a vehicle late Tuesday night, according to a police report.

A large truck hit the pedestrian, 67, from Madison, just after 11 p.m. The Madison Police Department report said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain said based on the preliminary investigation, it does not appear that alcohol or speed of the vehicle were factors in the accident.

“There is a traffic investigator who has to look at why this person was in the roadway,” DeSpain said. “There were multiple witnesses to the scene, so the investigator will be interviewing them to find out what happened.”

He said the autopsy had not yet been performed as of Wednesday afternoon and more information will be available after it is completed. Next of kin had also not yet been notified as of Tuesday night, preventing MPD from releasing the victim’s identity.

DeSpain said based on notes left by the MPD officer in charge at the time of the accident, it appears the pedestrian was killed upon impact or shortly afterward. He also added the name of the pedestrian would be released by the medical examiner following the autopsy.

“We don’t see a lot of these [accidents], but they occasionally happen,” DeSpain said. “As far as pedestrians being struck and killed by motor vehicles, it’s not frequent.”
