A man out for a run was struck by a car and killed near a Plymouth intersection last week, authorities said Tuesday.
Brian Lew, 57, was hit late Thursday afternoon near Vicksburg Lane and 26th Avenue, about 1 ½ miles from his home, according to the Hennepin County medical examiner's office. He died a few hours later at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale.
Lew "was not crossing in a crosswalk or at a controlled intersection," said police spokeswoman Tammy Ward.
The driver, identified as Merlene M. Johnson, 80, of Loretto, was not cited, Ward said.
Lew was a cardiologist affiliated with the University of Minnesota Physicians network.
Johnson was driving north on Vicksburg and hit Lew near 26th as he was crossing from her left, according to police.
