A man has died after being hit by a car Saturday morning in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Authorities say they were called around 10:45 a.m. for a crash involving a pedestrian on Cocasset Street near Oak Street.

The victim was taken to a Boston hospital where he later died from his injuries, according to authorities. His name has not been released.

Police say the driver of the Jeep, a 35-year-old man from Foxborough, remained on scene and is cooperating with authorities. No charges have been filed.

Neighbors who spoke to NBC10 Boston tell us while they didn't see the crash, they know the intersection to be busy -- and they feel a traffic light is needed.

"It's just awful," one woman said. "Usually we hear more about car accidents there than pedestrians so it's awful to hear that it's a pedestrian"

"There's no pedestrian light over there, even for cars it's not easy because sometimes it's very busy, it's tough to make that turn," Zia Khursheed said.

The crash remains under investigation.
