A man was struck and killed by a vehicle while trying to cross East Speedway outside of a crosswalk at just past 10 p.m., Sunday night.

According to a news release from Tucson Police, the man was attempting to walk northbound, across Speedway, at Camilla Boulevard, when he was struck by the vehicle, heading westbound.

The driver changed from the median to the middle lane moments before hitting the man. The nearest crosswalk was 650 feet away. Speed did not appear to be a factor, the news release said.
