The deceased was identified by police as 54-year-old Rajendra Mohammed, of Macaulay Trace.
A police report said that at around 6.45 p.m. a motorist driving a Nissan B14 was proceeding north along the Solomon Hochoy Highway when he collided with Mohammed, who was crossing the north-bound lane.
Police officers of the Debe Highway Patrol Unit, as well as Couva police responded.
A district medical officer pronounced Mohammed dead at the scene.
The body was removed to the mortuary of the San Fernando General Hospital for an autopsy this week.
