Williams was hit by the left side of a pickup heading eastbound and died at the scene.

Troopers said the driver of the truck, 46-year-old Keith Adkins, didn't see Williams crossing the road. Adkins told troopers the eastbound traffic light was green and traffic at Catoma Street was stopped for a red traffic signal.

Troopers said alcohol was not a factor. They said charges are pending an investigation.
