A pedestrian died Wednesday evening shortly after being struck by a vehicle on North Capitol Street in Northeast Washington, according to D.C. police.
The pedestrian was walking across North Capitol Street when he was struck by a 2011 Ford Escape being driven north, police said. The victim died at a hospital.
Police would not say if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk or had right of way at a traffic signal, nor if inclement weather contributed to the crash. The driver stayed at the scene on the crash.
