Man running across Loop 375 with a group is struck by car, killed

A man was struck and killed by a car Thursday night as he ran across Loop 375 near Paisano Drive.

He was with a group of men who sprinted across the highway, police said.

It happened just before 10 p.m. The area is very close to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The man, who has not been identified, was killed after being hit by a car driven by 33-year-old Matthew Duran. Duran was taken to the hospital where he was treated for minor injuries, according to police. It is unclear whether he could face any charges.

This year, 33 people have died on El Paso’s streets so far, compared to 27 at this time last year.
