TRAVERSE CITY —
Authorities identified a Traverse City man who died after being struck by a vehicle.
Robert Donald Heuss, 89, died Saturday after a Friday incident on Division Street. He was crossing Division at 11th when he was hit by a vehicle at about 1:30 p.m.
Traverse City Police Capt. Steve Morgan said Heuss was attempting to cross the busy street when he was hit. The driver of the vehicle that hit him was able to almost make a complete stop and only lightly struck Heuss, Morgan said, but the impact was enough to knock him over and cause him to hit his head.
Morgan believes Heuss, who lived in Central Neighborhood not far from the intersection, was a lifelong city resident.
