A 77-year-old Lenexa man died at the scene Tuesday night after he was hit by a car while trying to cross the street in the 7500 block of Pflumm Road, police said.
Wednesday police identified the victim as Ronald G. Roberts. Witnesses to the crash tried lifesaving measures, police said, but paramedics arrived and soon pronounced Roberts dead.
