A Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy was involved in a fatal auto-pedestrian accident late Thursday night.

A dispatcher tells KBMT 12 news it happened around 11:30 in the 62-hundred block of Highway 105 near the LNVA Canal overpass.

Investigators with the Beaumont Police Department say the deputy was headed east in a sheriff's patrol car when he struck a man walking in the eastbound lane. It is unclear if the man was trying to cross the highway.

The victim was taken to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont where doctors pronounced him dead.

The deputy received minor injuries in the accident.

KBMT will have more on this story later in the day.
