Police say Michael Vince Miller was killed instantly about 7 p.m. Sunday when he was struck by a falling light pole. It fell after being hit by one of two vehicles involved in a collision at a midtown intersection.
Police say the pedestrian was walking away from the intersection and might not have seen the pole falling.
"It's one in a million," Jeff Gullick, who lives nearby, told KSAZ-TV (http://bit.ly/1dhjXbk). "I can't believe somebody was standing right under that pole when it happened."
Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Steve Martos says impairment isn't believed to have been a factor in the bizarre accident, but authorities are still investigating.
Injuries to people in the vehicles involved in the collision weren't considered life-threatening.
