A man was struck and killed by a pickup truck Sunday night as he was walking in north suburban Beach Park.

About 11:30 p.m., 45-year-old Novotise Robinson, of Zion, was walking in the northbound lanes of Lewis Avenue at Richard Place when he was struck by a 2017 Toyota Tacoma, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said. Robinson died at the scene.

Police said he was wearing dark colored clothing.

The Lake County Coroner’s office said the preliminary results of an autopsy Monday indicated Robinson died of multiple traumatic injuries from the crash, although toxicology reports were pending.

The crash was being investigated by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
