FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): One man is dead after being struck by two vehicles on N. Coliseum Boulevard near Columbia Avenue.
Just after 11:30 p.m., Saturday, Fort Wayne Police officers were called to the intersection of N. Coliseum Boulevard near Columbia Avenue. Once on the scene they found a man lying in the northbound lanes of N. Coliseum Boulevard. The man was initially determined to be in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead by paramedics.
Upon further investigation, police discovered the man was attempting to walk across N. Coliseum Boulevard at Columbia Avenue. While crossing, he was struck by a vehicle.

People have to start wearing bright clothing if they are going to walk at night. I was coming down old leo road and there was a black gentleman dressed in all dark clothing except for his white shoes. He was walking on the side of the road. He was right next to the road not off in the gravel part. It shook me a little, because i did not see him until i was on top of him. Just the slightest distraction on my part and i would have hit him.
