A man is dead after being struck by two vehicles on South Sixth Avenue Saturday night, police said.

The man, who hasn’t been identified, was walking eastbound across Sixth Avenue, north of West Irvington Road, at around 7:30 p.m. when he was struck by a blue 2003 Honda Acura traveling northbound, according to a news release from the Tucson Police Department.

The driver pulled over to provide aid, but before he could, the man was struck by a second vehicle, described as a white sedan, that did not remain on the scene, the release said.

The man was transported to Banner University Medical Center where he died from his injuries shortly after arrival.

The victim was not in a crosswalk at the time of the initial incident with the Acura.

Neither speed nor impairments appear to be factors in the initial collision, the release said.

Anyone with information about either collision are encouraged to call 88-CRIME.
