The Amarillo Police Department (APD) is investigating a Thursday night crash on Amarillo Boulevard involving a vehicle and pedestrian who died at the scene.

At about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, Amarillo officers were dispatched to a report of a crash at Amarillo Boulevard west and Tennessee Street. A 2012 Ford Fusion, driven by a 20-year-old who was not identified, had been traveling eastbound on the 3400 block of west Amarillo Boulevard. At the same time, Douglas Mundell, 39, was on foot crossing Amarillo Boulevard from north to south.

Mundell was not crossing at an intersection or in a crosswalk and failed to yield right of way to the Ford Fusion in the roadway, police said. He was struck by the vehicle and died at the scene as result of injuries sustained in the crash.

The incident is being investigated by APD's Traffic Investigation Unit.
