Sully Police District – A man has died as a result of injuries from a crash that occurred last night around 9:48 p.m. Detectives from our Crash Reconstruction Unit have preliminarily determined that two men were crossing Lee Highway at the intersection of Centreville Farms Road. The driver of a 2004 Pontiac Vibe was traveling southbound on Lee Highway when he struck the two men that were in a crosswalk. The driver remained on the scene and is cooperating with detectives. Both men were taken to local hospitals. Rafael Raymundo Bernal, 24, of Centreville died from his injuries. The second man suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
