Preliminary investigation reveals a 2003 Dodge Ram was traveling southbound on Highway 99W when it struck a pedestrian in the lane of travel. The pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency personnel. The driver of the Dodge, Ray E LUNT, age 69, of Lincoln City, was not injured in the crash.
