A 32-year-old Fort Worth man died after being hit by a car Friday night near Cresson.

The fatal auto-pedestrian accident occurred around 9 p.m. on US 377 in Cresson. Benito Sanchez-Diaz, 32, was trying to cross the highway “at an area not designated for pedestrian crossing and was standing in the center turn lane” when he was struck by a vehicle, investigators said.

The vehicle, driven by a 58-year-old Fort Worth resident, was traveling north on the highway and slowing to make a turn onto North Broadway Street, the Department of Public Safety said. As he was turning, he changed lanes, striking Sanchez-Diaz.

“Sanchez-Diaz was flown by air ambulance to a Fort Worth area hospital where he died from his injuries on Dec. 4,” the Department of Public Safety said.

The Department of Public Safety did not immediately respond to a question about whether the driver will be charged in connection to the accident.

  • Markets wary of intervention as yen struggles at 155 level

    The yen was pinned on the weaker side of 155 per dollar on Thursday as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) kicks off its two-day rate-setting meeting, leaving traders nervous as to whether Tokyo will intervene while policy deliberations are still underway. Having traded in a tight range over the past few days, a buoyant dollar finally broke above the 155 yen level for the first time since 1990 in the previous session, and was last steady at 155.34 yen in early Asia trade. Intense speculation of intervention from Japanese authorities to shore up the yen had hampered the dollar's ascent towards the psychologically key level, seen by some market participants as a line in the sand that would prompt Tokyo to take action.
