The victim, a 67-year-old man from Minneapolis, was southbound on Lexington Avenue about 3:35 p.m. when he was struck by a northbound pickup truck that was attempting a left turn onto Bunker Lake Boulevard, said Lt. Andy Knotz of the Anoka County Sheriff's Office.
First responders attempted life-saving efforts but were unsuccessful. The victim died at the scene, Knotz said.
The 44-year-old driver of the pickup truck, a man from Ham Lake, was not hurt.
Alcohol did not appear to be a contributing factor, Knotz said.
The southbound lanes of Lexington Avenue were closed for several hours Monday. The crash remains under investigation.
The pilot was the only person inside the plane, and was not injured in the emergency landing, according to the State Patrol.
