Washington County Coroner Tim Warco identified the victim as Richard Bryan Baurle, 45, of Lakeside Drive, North Strabane Township. He was pronounced dead just before 9 p.m. at Canonsburg Hospital, about an hour after being struck in the 4100 block off Washington Road by a sport utility vehicle.

The southbound lanes of the road were blocked immediately after the incident so Peters Township police could conduct their investigation.
Police declined to identify the driver Tuesday or say whether that person would face charges.
