PHOENIX — A man died after he was struck by a motorcycle on Friday night while he was crossing the street near 50th Street and McDowell Road in Phoenix.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, Edroy McCormick, 36, was taken to a nearby hospital after being struck. He died there as a result of his injuries.

Officers responded to the scene just after 6 p.m. after receiving a call about a crash involving a motorcycle rider and a pedestrian. When they arrived on scene, they found a man suffering from serious injuries.

“Detectives responded to the scene and learned McCormick was crossing McDowell Road outside any marked cross walks when he was struck by a west passing motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle initially left the area and came back while detectives were investigating. Detectives determined impairment was not a factor with the motorcycle driver during the investigation,” Sgt. Brian Bower said in a Phoenix Police Department press release.

No arrests were made but there may be future charges once the investigation is complete.

No further details were released.
