WORCESTER — A 58-year-old pedestrian died after being struck by a sport utility vehicle on Lincoln Street Thursday morning, according to police.

Members of the Worcester Fire Department performed emergency CPR on the victim at about 6:15 a.m. Worcester EMS arrived and took the pedestrian, who was not identified, to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead about a half-hour later.

The Worcester police crash reconstruction unit investigated, mapping out the crash site and gathering evidence.

The driver of a 2016 Jeep Cherokee, a Shrewsbury resident, remained at the scene and went to police headquarters to speak with investigators.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the Jeep driver was headed west on Lincoln Street, near 580 Lincoln St., where the pedestrian tried to cross from the south to the north side of the street. The Jeep's front right-side bumper hit the pedestrian.

The pedestrian was not in a marked crosswalk and wore dark clothing, police said. The sun did not rise until about 7:10 a.m. Thursday.

Investigators towed the Jeep and secured it at police headquarters. A mechanical inspection will be conducted to determine if any mechanical deficiencies contributed to the collision.

No citations have been issued, police said.
