Pedestrian killed after being struck by car in Coffs Harbour

A pedestrian has been killed after being hit by a car at Coffs Harbour in NSW.

The 62-year-old was struck on the Pacific Highway at about 6pm on Sunday.

He was rushed to the Coffs Harbour Health Campus with critical injuries, but died a short time later.

Initial investigations suggest the man was hit by a white Mitsubishi four-wheel drive travelling south along the highway.

The driver, a 43-year-old woman, stopped after the crash and was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing.

She and her two passengers, a man and a child, were not injured in the collision.

The highway has been closed to southbound traffic while investigations continue.
