Fresno police identified the 77-year-old man Wednesday who was killed while using a walker and crossing a major street in a suspected DUI crash.

He suffered major head trauma in the collision, and was transported by emergency responders to Community Regional Medical Center, police said. He died Tuesday afternoon, police said in an update Wednesday.
Police said it was still dark and that may have contributed to the collision.
