Pedro Jimenez was found down the road from the intersection, police said, when they and the Oak Brook Fire Department arrived on the scene about 5:58 p.m. and found Jimenez suffering from traumatic injuries. Jimenez was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle, a Westmont man in his 50s, was not injured. He was taken to the Police Department, where he provided a statement and was released.
