Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures but the pedestrian, whom police have not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say they have not determined why the man was laying on the street, and that an investigation is underway.

Police say the driver remained at the scene and they are asking anyone with dash camera footage to share it with them.
