Colorado Springs police are investigating a deadly crash on the city’s east side between a vehicle and a pedestrian, law enforcement officials said.

The collision took place at about 9:45 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Pikes Peak Avenue and Ruskin Drive near South Academy Boulevard. When responders arrived at the scene, they found a male in the roadway. Despite efforts to save his life, he died at the scene, police said.

The driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement. The vehicle was reportedly heading east on Pikes Peak Avenue when it hit the pedestrian on the roadway. Impairment is not believed to be a factor in the collision, but speed is still being investigated, officials said.
