Wilmington police were called to the Dunkin' located at 211 Lowell Street around 1:22 p.m. for a motor vehicle crash outside the coffee and donut store. Responding officers found a 79-year-old Tewksbury man who had been struck by a car while walking in the parking lot.

He was taken by ambulance to Lahey Clinic where he died from his injuries, police said. His name has not been released.

The driver, identified as a 60-year-old Reading woman, remained on scene, police said. It was not immediately clear if she would face any charges.
