A 79-year-old man riding on an electric wheelchair was struck by a sports utility vehicle and killed Friday morning in Lakewood, police say.

The collision happened about 7:45 a.m. at the intersection of 14th Avenue and Reed Street, said Steve Davis, a police spokesman.

Davis said the driver, a 17- or 18-year-old female, stayed at the scene. She is not facing charges.

Police identified the man killed in the collision as Stephen Tinoco, of Lakewood.

Tinoco was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane of 14th Avenue when he was struck by the teen’s Ford Explorer, which was headed eastbound into the glaring sun, according to investigators.

“The driver of the Explorer could not see Tinoco in the lane of travel, and struck him just west of Reed Street,” police said in a news release. “Tinoco was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Toxicology results for Tinoco are pending, the release said. The driver of the Explorer is not suspected of being under the influence of any alcohol or drugs.
