It happened just after midnight Friday morning in the 5000 block of Highway 42 east. Investigators said 58-year-old Hugh Johnson was hit while riding a motorized scooter.
Johnson's family is devastated by his death.
"I keep expecting him to walk in the door any second, and he doesn't and it's just killing me," said fiancé Lynn Barnes.
The two were hoping to be married this fall.
"I feel numb. I feel numb. It's like everything is in limbo right now," said Barnes.
After finding pieces of the car that hit Johnson at the crash site, investigators were able to determine the make and model of the vehicle.
