Man Dies After Being Hit By Car Driven By Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim

Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim is cooperating with police after hitting a man with his car on Interstate 690 late Wednesday evening. The victim has died from his injuries.

Officials say the victim is a man in his 30's who was walking on the Interstate around 11:30 PM when he was struck by Boeheim's vehicle.

Cops believe the victim had been riding in another vehicle with other passengers -- and that vehicle had crashed before the Boeheim incident. At some point, the man got out of the car and began to walk.

Cops say the 74-year-old coach underwent a field sobriety test -- and officers determined he did not show signs of intoxication.
