The 50-year-old adult male pedestrian was attempting to cross westbound across the 2400 block of Alaskan Way. As the pedestrian walked across the roadway in front of the cars that had stopped for a train, he was struck by a Dodge Van in the center lane which was passing the stopped vehicle.

Traffic Collision Investigators gathered evidence and processed the scene. The investigation continues.
