Maciejewski was struck while in the crosswalk, but had not activated the warning lights, called HAWK (high-intensity activated crosswalk), the release said.

Failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk is the primary contributing factor to the collision, which still is being investigated, the release said.
