Police are working with four witnesses to investigate the death of a pedestrian who was killed Thursday night as he tried to cross Interstate 95 in North Miami-Dade.

Shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday, Alan Bryan Rizzo, 51, tried to run east across the northbound lanes of I-95, just south of the 167th Street exit, said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Jose Sanchez.

Rizzo was struck by several northbound vehicles and died.

Three of the vehicles stopped, Sanchez said: a black BMW 330I, a black Toyota Camry and a blue Honda Civic.

Troopers are investigating the crash as an accident and no charges were filed as of Friday evening.
