AUSTIN, TX – Austin Police have identified the man who died this past Saturday when two vehicles struck him along the interstate in north Austin, reports CBS Austin.

Crews responded to an auto-pedestrian crash on the northbound service road of I-35 between West Parmer Lane and Center Ridge Drive around 12:30 a.m. This is near Scofield Farms and Tech Ridge.

Authorities say that Edward Walker was walking on or around the service road when he was hit first by a pickup truck and then by a sedan. Walker succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.
