TUCSON, AZ (AP) -

Authorities have identified a pedestrian who was killed after being hit by a pickup truck in Tucson.

Tucson police say 50-year-old Roberto V. Romero died at the scene of Saturday night's accident.

They say Romero was walking across West 22nd Street when he was struck.

Detectives were unable to determine if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk at the time, there were no operating streetlights at the intersection and the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing.

Police say the driver of the truck remained at the scene and no citations have been issued.
