A pedestrian died after being struck by an SUV in Haverhill on Tuesday, authorities said.

The 68-year-old man was hit by a 2008 Volvo on River Street near Hunter Avenue shortly before 8 p.m., according to the Essex District Attorney’s office.

The man was taken to Merrimack Health Lawrence Hospital where he was pronounced dead, the district attorney’s office said.

During the crash, the Volvo was struck by a pickup truck and then collided with a third vehicle, the district’s attorney’s office said. As a result, “the Volvo operator and an infant passenger were also transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure.”

Prosecutors said the name of the pedestrian was not being released pending family notifications.
