Syracuse coach strikes, kills pedestrian

The longtime men's basketball coach at Syracuse University struck and killed someone with his car. It was after 11 p.m. Wednesday night when Syracuse University basketball coach Jim Boeheim was on his way home from dinner following his team's victory over Louisville at the Carrier Dome when police said the coach struck and killed a man with his car. Jorge Jimenez was standing outside a vehicle on Interstate 690 after a prior, unrelated accident in bad weather. Police said Boeheim tried to avoid the car in the road when he struck and killed Jimenez. Field sobriety tests came back negative and Boeheim appeared to be going the proper speed. Prosecutors said it appears to be a terrible unfortunate accident.
