A male pedestrian who was hit by a car while crossing Forest Hill Avenue on Wednesday evening has died.

This is the fourth pedestrian to be struck and killed in the city since Aug. 3. During the same period, there have been three other pedestrians seriously injured by vehicles.

Richmond police said the latest incident happened at 6:50 p.m. Wednesday at Forest Hill Avenue and Sheila Lane, which is just west of the Chippenham Parkway.

The victim was in the crosswalk when he was hit by a Pontiac Bonneville heading west on Forest Hill. He was transported to a hospital, where he died the next day.

Police said charges are pending. The name of the pedestrian will be released once next of kin is notified.
