One person is dead after he was struck by a pickup truck while crossing Highway 69 near Nederland.

The accident happened just before 1 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 69 north of Spurlock Road.

Sergeant Chuck Havard with the Texas Department of Public Safety tells KFDM News Richard Mouton, 55, from Port Arthur, was crossing the highway and was struck by the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck heading north.

Mouton was flown by Southeast Texas Air Rescue helicopter to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth where he died at about 2:30 p.m.

Sgt. Havard say the driver of the Dodge Ram pickup wasn't hurt but another pickup driver who was able to avoid the pedestrian received non life-threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

Are they sure they didn't mean 1 pm? If it was at 1 am, it sure took them a long time to put it on the news.

Someone at Dillards said the the guy stood in front of her vehicle with a blank look on his face waiting to get hit. He wasn't just "crossing the road". He was waiting to get killed. She managed to miss him, but said the vehicle behind her hit him. What a shame to be that desolate. Also to be the person to hit him. That must be something that haunts you forever. Just know that it was his choice, not your accident or fault.
