A 95-year-old man was killed after being hit by a car while crossing North Main Street at an uncontrolled intersection Monday night, Spanish Fork City police said Tuesday.

Police say the man, identified as Ralph H. Andrus, who they say was crossing the street at the intersection with 700 North, which has no crosswalk.

Authorities say a 26-year-old male driver of a 2006 sedan, who wasn't named by police, likely didn't see the pedestrian before striking him around 7 p.m. They don't suspect drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash.

Andrus was alive and taken by ambulance to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, where he died. The Spanish Fork City Attorney's Office will review the case for any potential criminal charges, police said.
