The man, whose name was not released by police, said he had previously been struck by a vehicle near the same intersection decades ago.

The woman who was driving the SUV was not injured. She said she did not see the man as she turned from Main Street onto Edwards. She said the bright sun may have been a factor.

A crossing guard normally on duty in the morning at the intersection was not working because schools were closed for Columbus Day.
