TROOPERS SAY THE MAN WAS NOT IN A CROSS WALK AT THE TIME, AND PERSAUD SAW THE MAN AT THE LAST SECOND AND TRIED TO AVOID HITTING HIM, BUT THE RIGHT FRONT OF HIS S U V HIT THE MAN, SENDING HIM AIRBOURNE. HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE. PERSAUD WAS NOT INJURED, BUT HIS S U V SUFFERED ABOUT $6000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE. THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING."
