Troopers responded to the scene near mile marker 289 in Palm Coast shortly after 3 a.m. FHP said the man was initially standing on the outside shoulder of the northbound lanes when, for unknown reasons, he walked into the roadway.
A Nissan Rogue and a Ford Edge traveling in the outside lane both struck the pedestrian. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not released his name.
