A man walking across Interstate 93 in Boston was struck and killed by an SUV Saturday night, police said.
The crash took place about 9:40 p.m. near the South Bay shopping center, around exit 15, according to Massachusetts State Police.
According to an initial investigation, it appears the man had crossed the southbound lanes and the median. When he entered the northbound side, he was immediately struck by a Toyota Highlander. The impact threw him back across the median, into the left travel lane of the southbound side.
The driver of the Toyota -- identified as a 53-year-old man -- stopped and called 911 right away, according to police. He has been cooperative, police said, adding there's no indication he was driving recklessly or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. No charges have been filed.
