(KNZA)--An elderly Jefferson County man is dead, hit by a vehicle Monday morning while crossing a four-lane highway in north Topeka.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identifies the victim as 85-year-old Jack Streeter, of Grantville.
The Patrol says Streeter was parked on the shoulder of the westbound lanes of U.S. 24 when he got out of his vehicle to walk across both lanes to pick up aluminum cans from the center median.
Streeter was struck by an SUV driven by 48-year-old Christopher Huffman, of Meriden.
Streeter was transported to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Huffman was not hurt.
The fatal accident was reported around 7:15 Monday morning.
