An unidentified man died on Spring Stuebner Road after a vehicle struck him as he walked in traffic late Monday, the sheriff's department reported.

The man died in the 3300 block of Spring Stuebner in northwest Harris County at about 11:10 p.m., deputies reported. He carried no identification.

The man was walking toward oncoming traffic about eight feet from the curb when he was struck, investigators said in a statement. The driver of the vehicle that struck the man told investigators he swerved to avoid the man but the right front bumper of his car hit the man.

The man was thrown up onto the car's hood, crashed against the windshield and fell back to the street, investigators said.

No citations were issued. The accident remains under investigation. No description of the man was immediately available this morning.
