OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- A television cameraman filming a story about a dangerous intersection was struck and killed by a vehicle, police said.
Jeff Frolio, 45, died Thursday night at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.
Frolio was struck about 5 p.m. Thursday while crossing the intersection to get another tape from his vehicle, Douglas County Sheriff Tim Dunning said. He walked into oncoming traffic, Dunning said.
A 20-year veteran with station KETV, Frolio was covering a story for the evening's broadcast about two teens who died at that intersection last month.
The driver who hit Frolio was not drinking alcohol or speeding, deputies said. The speed limit of the highway is 60 mph.
The woman didn't realize she had struck a pedestrian until she looked in her rearview mirror, deputies said.
She has not been ticketed, Dunning said.
The intersection is near a hilltop and is heavily traveled from both east and west, Dunning said.
Several residents have complained the busy intersection is a hazard. But Dunning said he didn't think there was anything wrong with the highway.
"Unfortunately he walked into the path of a vehicle," Dunning said. "It's not a traffic engineering problem."
Frolio was chosen as the Nebraska Television Photographer of the Year twice in his career.
