ST. LOUIS (AP) - A man who was walking on a road in northeastern St. Louis late Sunday night was hit and killed by a vehicle, authorities said.
The crash happened around 10:30 p.m. Sunday after Phil Thomas, 66, stopped his vehicle on southbound Halls Ferry Road and got out of the car, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. That’s when Thomas was hit by a southbound Jeep driven by a 39-year-old woman, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Thomas, who was from the St. Louis area, died at the scene. The woman was not injured, officials said. Investigators have not said why Thomas stopped in the road and left his vehicle.
