A Warren man is dead after walking in front of a car at 3:20 this afternoon on Jackson Run Road.

In a fax sent to WESB and The HERO, State Police say 75-year-old Richard Smith was crossing the road and apparently did not see a car driven by 32-year-old John Thom of Bear Lake. Thom told police he could not stop in time and hit Smith, who went onto the hood and smashed the left side of the windshield.

Smith was pronounced dead at the scene.
