ROYAL OAK (WWJ) - A 37-year-old Madison Heights man has died after he was struck by a vehicle on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak.

According to Royal Oak police, a 51-year-old Oakland Township woman was driving southbound on Woodward in the second lane from the west side curb when she struck the pedestrian, as he tried to cross Woodward at Ravena Ave., north of 13 Mile Rd., Tuesday night.

Royal Oak officers responded to the scene, at around 10:15 p.m., and the man was rushed to Beaumont Hospital where he died of his injuries.
