Erie police accident investigators are reviewing footage from a traffic camera at a busy city intersection in their investigation into an accident early Saturday morning that caused the death of a 38-year-old pedestrian.
The victim, identified by Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook Monday as Robert Doty, of Erie, was pronounced dead Saturday at 3:47 p.m. at UPMC Hamot following the accident, Cook said.
Doty’s death was ruled as accidental due to multiple blunt-force trauma, Cook said.
