Pedestrian dies from injuries after being hit by car in Reno

RENO — Authorities say a pedestrian has died after being hit by a car while in a Reno crosswalk.

Reno police say 63-year-old Deven Dyer Hickingbotham died at a hospital about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, some seven hours after he was run over.

They say the 38-year-old driver is facing three traffic-related charges including driving under the influence causing substantial bodily harm, driving with a revoked license and failing to yield when making a left turn.

Police told the Reno Gazette Journal that they believe Hickingbotham may have been walking his bicycle across a street when he was struck by the car.

They say the driver stayed at the scene and was cooperating with the investigation.
