A man that was hit by a police car in a pedestrian accident on Friday has succumbed to his injuries, officials announced.

The accident occurred when a police officer was responding to a non-emergency call on North Clinton Street and Lima Road when he struck a 34-year-old man who was in the roadway. The police cruiser had neither lights not sirens activated when the accident occurred and it is unclear whether the man was crossing the road or was standing in the middle of it.

The man was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead this morning. The officer was given an alcohol-breath test and blood test, the alcohol test came back negative and they are waiting on results from the blood test. Police are asking for any witnesses to come forward with any information as they continue their investigation into the accident.
