KSP: Wet roads a factor in pedestrian’s death

CAYCE, Ky. (WTVQ) – State Police say an elderly man was hit by a pickup truck while crossing a highway to get his mail.  The man later died of his injuries.

The accident happened Thursday near KY 94 and KY 1212 in Fulton County, according to KSP.

Investigators say Carr was taken to a hospital in Union City, Tennessee.  They say he died while being transferred to a hospital in Memphis.
