SOUTH BEND — A man crossing the street in an electric wheelchair was killed Wednesday after being hit by a pickup truck.

Police said 61-year-old Keith Coros of Granger was crossing LaSalle Street at Hill Street around 12:45 p.m.

According to initial witness reports, police said, it appears Coros was crossing the street at the crosswalk, with the walk sign, when he was hit by a full-size white pickup driven by 70-year-old Britt Herbert of South Bend.

Police said Herbert was turning right onto LaSalle when he hit Coros. He told police he didn't see the man.

Police closed the intersection and roped off the accident area with police tape as they investigated. Traffic was detoured around the area.

Still sitting in the street were Coros' electric wheelchair and a pair of shoes. A single spot of blood could be seen on the pavement.

Police have said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
