A woman’s license has been suspended but she will not be charged after striking a jaywalking pedestrian with her vehicle on McKnight Boulevard, early Sunday.
Duty Inspector Keith Cain says she was driving eastbound at around 3:30 a.m. when her SUV hit and killed the man in his thirties.
“It’s not an intersection, it’s between 52nd Street and 68th Street. He was not crossing an intersection. While crossing the roadway he was struck by a vehicle that was travelling eastbound. That sport utility was driven by a 49-year-old female,” Cain adds.
Investigators determined the driver had been drinking but not enough to be charged criminally.
The major road in the northeast was closed for about five hours Sunday morning.
