Authorities on Monday identified the man who was run over at a Bloomington intersection last week.

Solomon Kelkle, 63, suffered fatal injuries when a vehicle hit him about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday at W. 98th Street and S. Grand Avenue, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office.

Kelkle died two days later at HCMC, the examiner's office said.

Police said Monday that Kelkle was walking in a crosswalk with the "don't walk" signal illuminated when the vehicle hit him.

The 56-year-old driver stopped immediately and cooperated with law enforcement at the scene.
