According to the Phoenix Police Department, on the evening of October 20th, around 7:28 p.m., officers responded to a report of a crash near 51st Avenue and West McDowell Road. When officers arrived, they located an adult man, later identified as Chad Bratcher who had life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a local hospital by Phoenix Fire personnel, where he did not survive his injuries and died.

The driver of the pick-up truck that hit him stayed at the scene.
