Fall River - A 50-year-old Westport man died Friday after being struck by a motor vehicle at Robeson and Nichols streets.
Police said Silveiro Santos of 214 Blossom Hill Drive was pronounced dead at Charlton Memorial Hospital after the accident about 4:15 p.m.
The motorist was identified as Edmond Travassos, 79, of 934 Wilson Road.
Sgt. Paul Bernier, police spokesman, said Travassos was traveling north on Robeson Street and Santos, who had just parked his motor vehicle, was walking across the street from west to east when he was struck by Travassos’ vehicle.
A witness reported that Santos was walking to the Stop N Save, 1625 Robeson St., when the accident occurred.
One of the first police officers to arrive at the scene told his dispatcher the victim had a head injury, and to tell ambulance personnel to “rush it.”
A reconstruction of the accident was conducted by officers Wendell Burks and Patrick McNerney.
Bernier said the cause of the accident is being investigated by Detective Thomas Chace of the Police Department’s Major Crimes Division and Trooper Daniel Giossi of the state police assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
