A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle in Oxford Township on Sunday night, according to a release from the York County Coroner's Office. 

Michael Calderone, 43, of McSherrystown, was driving a 2001 Buick Century, southbound on Hanover Street in Adams County when he struck an unidentified object in the roadway, according to an Eastern Adams Regional Police news release.

Emergency medical services started to perform lifesaving procedures, but the man was later pronounced dead at Hanover Hospital at about 9 p.m.

Witnesses told police that the man was standing in the middle of the road facing north in the southbound lane.

They said he was in all black clothing, and he made no attempt to move out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, the release states.

Calderone said that he could not see the man in the road because of the glare of the headlights of oncoming traffic.
