WAUWATOSA, Wis. — A pedestrian was killed while crossing the street in Wauwatosa.

It happened at about 1:40 P.M. Friday.

A witness tells TMJ4 he had just passed an older gentleman using a walker near 103rd and Wisconsin Avenue. Moments later he heard a loud sound.

On Monday, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as 93-year-old David Gau, a retired priest who lived at St. Camillus Assisted Living.

Witness Dale Walz said, “I just heard the brakes squeal and a clunk and I saw his body rolling down the street.”

Wauwatosa Police confirmed Gau was killed.

The driver of the truck did remain on scene, as police continue to investigate.
