Killeen police said a 21-year-old man died on Monday after being struck by an intoxicated driver last week.
Police said on Friday, June 10, at around 9:30 p.m. officers were dispatched to the intersection of W. Veterans Memorial Blvd. and Stringer Street.

The driver of the motorcycle, Coy Caleb Morris, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by Justice of the Peace Keith Reed.
