A pedestrian died in a traffic accident involving a Lexington fire truck downtown on Saturday night, police said.
Police were dispatched to the corner of Broadway and Main Street about 10:20 p.m. for what was reported as a hit and run, but when they arrived they found that was not a case, police David Biroschik said; instead, they learned that a fire truck had hit a woman.

The police Collision Reconstruction Unit was investigating late Saturday. The woman’s name was not immediately released.
Neither the fire department nor the mayor’s office was commenting on the incident. Susan Straub, spokeswoman for Mayor Jim Gray, said the city was waiting for the results of the police investigation.
