Wichita police are continuing to investigate a deadly crash that happened Friday evening involving a pickup truck and a pedestrian.

Emergency crews were called at around 6:50 p.m. Friday to an injury accident at 11th and Broadway, Officer Kevin Wheeler said Monday in a news release. They found a man in the roadway who was unresponsive. Paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
