BPD: Impaired Pedestrian Dies After Being Hit By Pickup

BEND, OR -- A Bend man was killed overnight in northeast Bend. Police say officers responded to a report of a vehicle vs. pedestrian crash on Boyd Acres Road near Murray Road, at about 12:25 a.m. Tuesday. When officers arrived, they found 39-year-old Timothy Joseph Lyon, Jr. in the roadway. Officers and Bend Fire personnel performed CPR on Lyon, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Witnesses told investigators Lyon, who was walking home after a party, was southbound on Boyd Acres when he attempted to cross. Lyon, who was wearing dark clothing, fell in the road. Due to icy conditions and his level of intoxication, Lyon was apparently unable to stand and was crouched in the road when a Bend driver traveling south on Boyd Acres Road struck Lyon with a pickup. The driver called 911 and remained at the scene. At this time, there is no indication the driver was impaired, and he is cooperating with the investigation.  

The road was closed until approximately 4:15 a.m. for that investigation.
