(Updated at 11:30 p.m.) A pedestrian was killed by a car on a section of Columbia Pike partially darkened by the area’s widespread power outages.

The man was struck by a Honda heading westbound on the Pike near intersection with Four Mile Run Drive, where the traffic signal and some street lights are dark due to the power outages. We’re told that the victim was transported to a trauma center in Fairfax County and was pronounced dead.

The striking vehicle remained on scene after the accident. So far there’s no word on whether any charges will be filed against the driver.

Columbia Pike is currently closed in both directions between Buchanan Street and Dinwiddie Street. The road is expected to reopen by 12:30 a.m.

“Motorists are urged to avoid this area,” according to a traffic alert issued by Arlington County.
