An Osceola man hit by an SUV while in his wheelchair Thursday night has died.
It happened around 7:00pm Thursday evening at Riverbend Apartments, on Ash road on the Elkhart/St. Joe County line.
Police say 57-year-old Raymond Smith of Osceola was in the proper position on the road, facing oncoming traffic as a pedestrian, when he drifted into traffic and struck by an SUV.
Smith was thrown from the wheelchair.
He was taken to Elkhart General Hospital with head and abdominal injuries and then life-flighted to South Bend Memorial, where he died around midnight.
The driver told police he did not see Smith.
Investigators with the Elkhart County crash team are working to determine the circumstances leading to the crash.
