TOLLESON — A man crossing the street at 83rd Avenue and Buckeye Road in Tolleson was struck and killed by a vehicle early Saturday morning.
According to Tolleson police, two pedestrians, a man and woman, were walking on the north side of Buckeye road, crossing the street from east to west 83rd Avenue around 7 a.m.
As they were crossing the street, a red Fiat driving northbound on 83rd Avenue crossed through the intersection and struck the man, whose identity was not immediately available.
Tolleson police say the man, who was in his early 60s, was pronounced dead at the scene. It does not appear the woman was struck.
