Man Killed on Sidewalk in Crystal Crash, Police Suspect Distracted Driving

Crystal police are investigating a two-vehicle crash that killed a pedestrian Thursday. Crystal Police Chief Stephanie Revering tells CCX News that the adult male victim was struck on the sidewalk.

The crash happened at about 12:08 p.m. in the 5300 block of 36th Avenue. According to police, one of the vehicles struck the pedestrian on the sidewalk. A person nearby saw the crash and attempted life-saving measures, police said. Emergency personnel joined the effort, but the man died of his injuries at the hospital.

Police closed eastbound 36th Avenue from Highway 100 to Regent Avenue for several hours following the incident. The city of Crystal alerted the public on social media urging drivers to avoid the area.

Due to a major crash, eastbound 36th Ave. is closed from Hwy. 100 to Regent Ave. The closure will last a few hours. For road closure information, please visit: https://t.co/nqBgGC9CqK pic.twitter.com/6VWEE1KyAy
