Pedestrian killed near Arboretum shopping center in south Charlotte

A pedestrian was killed Monday afternoon at the intersection of Pineville-Matthews Road and Arboretum Drive, near the Arboretum shopping center.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said the pedestrian was trying to cross Pineville-Matthews Road just before 4 p.m. The pedestrian had already crossed several lanes of traffic before being struck by a Toyota Camry, police said.

Arboretum Drive runs through an apartment complex, and there is no crosswalk across Pineville-Matthews Road at that intersection. The pedestrian has not been identified yet.

Police said the Camry driver, 30-year-old David Earl Miller, pulled over and called 911 right after the crash.

After interviewing Miller, police don’t believe he was speeding or impaired at the time of the crash.
