Investigators say the man crossed against the signal.

Overview

  • Police identified the victim as a 60-year-old Warren resident who died at a hospital after the collision.
  • Investigators report he was crossing southbound Van Dyke without the right of way as traffic in the intersection had a green light.
  • Officers say the man may have been under the influence of alcohol, a factor still under review.
  • The pickup driver remained at the scene, is cooperating with police, and is not believed to have been impaired.
  • The investigation is ongoing with no charges announced, and reports differ on whether the crash happened Sunday night or early Monday; an initial call described the vehicle as a maroon Dodge Ram.
