A 37-year-old Madison Heights man suffered fatal injuries after being hit by a vehicle at Woodward Avenue north of 13 Mile on Tuesday.

Royal Oak officers responded to a report of an injury accident involving a pedestrian and a vehicle.

The preliminary investigation determined a vehicle being driven by a 51-year-old Oakland Township woman was southbound on Woodward. 

The pedestrian was crossing westbound near Ravena Ave. and was struck as he attempted to cross. 

He was then rushed to Beaumont Hospital where he succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the vehicle was not injured, and police determined she was not under the influence of alcohol.
