Provincial police say 75-year-old Roger Bauer was walking across the street to get his mail in the 6400-block of Walker Rd. when he was struck by a Dodge Ram pickup truck. Police say the driver remained on scene to help and do not believe alcohol to be a factor in the crash. The pedestrian died at the scene due to his injuries.
