The Missouri Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal pedestrian accident on I-70.

A man was trying walk to safety after his vehicle was involved in a car accident on I-70 when he was struck by two vehicles. The accident began when a 20-year-old driver lost control of his SUV and slammed into the median which caused the vehicle to spin around before coming to a stop facing east in the westbound lanes.

The man then got out of the car to walk to safety when he was struck by a Ford Ranger and then by a second vehicle who fled the scene. The man was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews.
