Pedestrian dead after being struck on Interstate 95 in Port St. Lucie

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A 63-year-old Stuart man died Monday after being struck by a sport utility vehicle on Interstate 95, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

What: The 63-year-old man had been driving a 2006 Lincoln Town car. He got out of the vehicle after crashing with part of a guardrail on the southbound side of I-95. The FHP stated he “stumbled” into a travel lane and was hit by a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe driven by a 74-year-old Port St. Lucie man. The Hyundai driver was not hurt.

When: The crash happened at 9:04 a.m.

Where: It occurred about a mile north of Southwest Gatlin Boulevard.

Who died?: FHP did not release the names of those involved in the crash after the passage of Marsy’s Law. Introduced in memory of a young woman murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Marsy’s Law was created to offer crime victims a slate of rights, including protecting them and their families from harassment by their attackers. Some law enforcement officials have interpreted the statute as applying to any victim, as well as to law enforcement officers being entitled to privacy and having their identity protected.
