A Flint man was killed Friday after he was struck by a truck while crossing a Pontiac street.
Charles Arnold O’Connor, 37, was crossing Baldwin Road near Virginia Avenue at 8:38 p.m. when he was struck by a Ford F-150, said law enforcement officials.
When deputies arrived, bystanders were performing CPR on O’Connor, said the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead.
Speed, alcohol or drug use didn’t appear to be a factor with the actions of the driver, a 16-year-old female from Pontiac, said the sheriff’s office.
Investigators are trying to determine whether drugs or alcohol played a factor in O’Connor’s actions, said the sheriff’s office. An autopsy has been scheduled.
The fatality remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office’s crash reconstruction unit.
