A Fairfield man is dead after a vehicle-pedestrian accident that occurred around 7 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Ninth Street and Burlington Avenue.

Fairfield Police Officers were initially called to the scene of the accident where Thomas CALHOUN, 71, of Fairfield, was struck by 28-year-old Bryce Edmonds, also of Fairfield.
