Authorities did not identify the person, pending notification of relatives. Police said they were continuing to search for the driver of the dark-colored SUV that hit him.
According to police, the crash happened about 7:10 p.m. as the man walked inside a marked crosswalk at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Park View Terrace.
The SUV was going west on Grand Avenue and hit the man with enough force that police said he flew about 75 feet in the air before landing. Medics treated him at the scene for injuries that included more than one skull fracture and rushed him to a hospital.
Doctors pronounced him dead shortly after 8 p.m.
Police did not have a detailed description of the SUV or the driver behind the wheel. Police said it is not known at this point of the investigation whether drugs or alcohol were factors.
