A Burnsville man is in custody, accused of hitting and killing a man while driving drunk Tuesday night in Bloomington.
The pedestrian, Donald Eugene Johnson, 66, was crossing 98th Street near Newton Avenue when he was struck by an eastbound vehicle about 7:30 p.m., according to the Bloomington Police Department.
Johnson died at the scene, Deputy Chief Mike Hartley said in a news release.
