A 78-year-old man was fatally struck by a vehicle Tuesday in the Lake View neighborhood on the North Side.

At 3:12 p.m., Chisun Lee was struck by a vehicle headed southbound in the 3200 block of North Halsted, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Police said the man crossed the road in the middle of the street.
