A 70-year-old Lorton man died after he was struck crossing the street near the intersection of Armistead Road and Lorton Road.

Farman Batalia, 70, of Lorton, died early in the morning on July 30 after being struck by a vehicle while crossing Lorton Road near the intersection with Armistead Road.

Police said a 2003 GMC truck driven by a 63-year-old man, also from Lorton, was heading east on Lorton Road when it hit Batalia in the eastbound lanes. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Detectives are investigating the collision, though at this time, it’s unknown whether speed or alcohol were factors, or if Batalia was in a crosswalk when he was hit.
