BILLINGS – A Billings area man is dead after being hit by a car, heading west on Central Avenue at 24th Street West.

According to Billings Police Sgt. Clyde Reid, around 8 p.m. Saturday night, a man with dark clothing was crossing Central ave. where there was not a designated crosswalk.

The minivan with a family inside, was driving westbound when it hit the man on Central.
