19-year-old man struck, killed by SUV while running across north Charlotte road

CHARLOTTE — A 19-year-old man was hit and killed by an SUV while running along a crosswalk Monday morning in north Charlotte, police said.

Michael-Luther Black was struck by a Buick Envision at about 7 a.m. on Mallard Creek Church Road near Mallard Creek Road, according to police. He died at the scene.

The Buick that was traveling east had a “solid green light,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said. A “solid red hand” was displayed on the pedestrian crossing light.

The driver of the Buick, who stayed at the scene, was not impaired, and speed does not appear to be a factor.

The investigation is ongoing and there is no word on charges.

A witness told Channel 9′s Anthony Kustura the person who was killed was late trying to catch the bus. They said the person ran across the street during a green light when they were hit by a car.

The witness said they called 911.

The crash was Charlotte’s second deadly crash Monday morning. The first was in northwest Charlotte on Brookshire Boulevard, where one person died and a second was seriously hurt and taken to the hospital.
