A fatal pedestrian accident occurred early Monday morning at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Loop 202 San Tan, claiming the life of a man in his late 30s.
The incident unfolded around 12:45 a.m. when the driver of a passenger car exited his vehicle for unknown reasons while it was partially stopped in a traffic lane. Tragically, a pickup truck struck the man as he stood outside his car.
