The driver of the striking vehicle was heading southbound on I-41 in the center lane when the man ran across the road and was struck. The driver of the vehicle was not injured.

"Nobody expects a person to charge out into traffic. As a driver, you just don't expect that. You don't have time to react because you're just not expecting it. You feel sad for the family and for the person that was driving at the time. You don't expect it," said Scott Mendini, neighbor.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, all southbound lanes were closed for about three hours.
