An 86-year-old Woodbury man who was struck by a car on Monday morning has died.
Robert Slipka was crossing the street near his home when he was hit just after 8 a.m. at the intersection of Lake Road and Devonshire Drive, which does not have stoplights or a marked crosswalk.
He was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where he died from his injuries on Tuesday night. The driver of the car that struck Slipka, 48-year-old Patricia Amusan of Woodbury, was not injured.
It does not appear that alcohol or excessive speeds were a factor in the accident, Woodbury police said, and the accident is being reviewed by the city attorney.
