Police are investigating after a pedestrian was struck and killed Thursday evening on Route 83/Oakland Street in Manchester.
Manchester police said 53-year-old John King died at Manchester Memorial Hospital after he was hit by a Subaru traveling southbound on Route 83/Oakland Street Thursday evening. It happened around 6:40 p.m.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, but police said it doesn't appear as though speed or driver impairment played a part.

Route 83/Oakland Street was closed for hours Thursday between Sheldon and Rachel roads while authorities investigated and worked to clear the scene.
Toxicology results for King are pending.
