A 76 year old man was killed on Wednesday morning in an accident near Boulder Highway and Russell Road.
Henderson resident, Theodore Riccubuono, 76, was killed at around 11:15 a.m. when he exited a private driveway on the west side of 6451 E. Russell Road in his 2000 Saturn SL2 and drove into the path of a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup which was travelling northbound.
The truck then struck the left side of the Saturn, causing severe damage and Riccubuono was transported to St Rose Delima. He was later pronounced deceased, although medical examiners did not immediately disclose a cause of death.
Police said the driver of the pickup remained at the scene and did not suffer any injuries. The case is still under investigation and the death was the 51st traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
