HEBRON, Ky. — A 65-year-old man was hit and killed by a driver Wednesday morning near CVG Airport, the Boone County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies were dispatched to the intersection of Petersburg Road and Aviation Boulevard around 6 a.m.
The sheriff's office said a 22-year-old man was driving eastbound on Petersburg Road, while James Moulden, 65, was attempting to cross from the south side of Petersburg Road toward Aviation Boulevard when the 22-year-old struck Moulden.
The investigation found that the 22-year-old had the green light for eastbound traffic. Moulden also was not in a crosswalk when he was hit, the sheriff's office said.
Moulden was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff's office said.
The 22-year-old driver was not injured in the collision, and he remained on scene, called 911 and is cooperating.
The crash also caused one lane of Petersburg Road to close for roughly an hour before it reopened.
The collision remains under investigation, and the sheriff's office said speed or impairment are currently unknown. The sheriff's office said known contributing factors include moderate rain, no lighting at the intersection and limited visibility due to darkness.
