A 60-year-old man has died one week after being hit by a vehicle in south Minneapolis, authorities said Sunday.

Daniel L. Patterson, of Minneapolis, died Friday night at the Hennepin County Medical Center, according to the medical examiner's office.

Patterson was on foot when he was hit by a vehicle on Nov. 4 at E. Franklin and Stevens Avenue S., the office said. He lived about 1.5 miles south of where he was struck.

Other details about the crash were not immediately available.

Patterson lived for six years in a foster home for the disabled in the 3100 block of Oakland Avenue, according to Michele Boyer, director of programs for Clare Housing.

"Our staff and volunteers were close to Dan, so we will miss him greatly," Boyer said.
