[FONT="]Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim is cooperating with police after hitting a man with his car on Interstate 690 late Wednesday evening. The victim has died from his injuries. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Officials say the victim is a man in his 30's who was walking on the Interstate around 11:30 PM when he was struck by Boeheim's vehicle. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Cops believe the victim had been riding in another vehicle with other passengers -- and that vehicle had crashed before the Boeheim incident. At some point, the man got out of the car and began to walk. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Cops say the 74-year-old coach underwent a field sobriety test -- and officers determined he did not show signs of intoxication. Syracuse.com reports Boeheim had a .00 blood alcohol level.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The coach is cooperating with the investigation. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Boeheim coached the Syracuse basketball team earlier in the evening -- leading the Orangemen to a 69 - 49 victory over Louisville at the Carrier Dome. [/FONT]
[FONT="]We reached out to the Syracuse Athletic Dept. for comment -- but so far, they're not saying anything. [/FONT]
