The San Antonio Police Department said a 65-year-old woman was driving a Toyota Camry heading eastbound on Potranco when she struck the man.

Police said the driver had a green light and did not see the man until it was too late.

Authorities say the pedestrian was walking in a crosswalk, but that he disregarded the crossing signal. The man was taken to University Hospital, where he later died.

The woman stopped to help and will not be charged, according to officials. She was not intoxicated, stayed at the scene, and cooperated with the investigation, police said.
