RICHMOND, Va. -- A death investigation is underway after a Richmond runner was killed on West Main Street in the Fan.

The runner, who police described as a man, was struck by a car at 6 a.m. along the 1700 block of West Main Street, between N. Allen Street and Lombardy Avenue.

The driver who hit the runner stopped at the scene and was cooperating with Richmond Police.

The runner's name has not yet been released.
