MIAMI — Miami police say a driver wasn’t at fault for hitting and killing a pedestrian near the city’s Allapattah neighborhood Monday morning, but he was taken into custody anyway; authorities say the 50-year-old was driving without a valid license.
The crash happened along Northwest 36th Street, near 31st Avenue, sometime before 7 a.m.
Authorities said the pedestrian, an 80-year-old man, stepped into traffic outside of a crosswalk when the driver hit him.

Authorities haven’t released the pedestrian’s name.
Authorities blocked off a portion of the road as they investigated the wreck.
