PARKERSBURG – Parkersburg Police have identified a man who died Saturday after being struck by a car while attempting to cross Murdoch Avenue.

Robert Matthew Sams, 58, of Parkersburg, was pronounced dead at the scene, Police Chief Matthew Board said.

The incident happened around 7:02 p.m. Saturday just south of the intersection at West Virginia Avenue. The name of the driver of the 2010 BMW X5 has not been released, as the case remains under investigation, Board said.

A fatal single-vehicle accident from earlier in the day is also still under investigation, Board said.

GuFundMe campaigns have been started to assist the families of both men.
