News reports indicate that the man was crossing the street at the corner of Mines Road and Bristol Road when the accident occurred. The location was near a Valero gas station and Popeye’s restaurant.
Traffic was blocked off while the accident was under investigation, holding up traffic for several hours. Local police even went so far as to advise the public to avoid the area where the accident took place, on account of potential delays.

Police have not yet released any information regarding the cause of the accident, which is still under investigation at this time.
