Lubbock police have identified the pedestrian killed Friday evening in southwest Lubbock as Nathan McIntire, 49. The department released his name on Saturday, a day after he was struck by a pickup truck on Milwaukee Avenue and pronounced dead at the scene, according to Lubbock police reporting carried by EverythingLubbock, KCBD and the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

The crash was reported at about 6:05 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2026. Officers were called to a collision with injuries involving a pedestrian near the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and 66th Street, in the 6700 block of Milwaukee Avenue, according to the Lubbock Police Department.

What the initial investigation found

According to the department's initial investigation, reported by EverythingLubbock, McIntire was standing in the northbound lanes of Milwaukee Avenue when he was struck by a northbound pickup truck. Officers found him lying in the roadway, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified the pickup's driver as Cody Dorsey, 36. Reporting on the case does not describe Dorsey as injured, and police have not announced any charges against him or anyone else in connection with the crash.

Why the name came a day later

In their first statements on Friday night, carried by KCBD and the Avalanche-Journal, police did not name the pedestrian. That is the normal sequence in a fatal crash: the name is held until family has been notified. The identification was released on Saturday, November 14, and it is that release — not a new crash — that makes this the latest development in the case.

What police have not said

Police have not said why McIntire was standing in the travel lanes, whether speed, lighting or impairment played any role, or whether the driver stopped immediately at the scene. None of those points should be guessed at: the department's Major Crash Unit is still investigating, and its findings will decide whether any charges or citations follow.

The road and the hour

Milwaukee Avenue at 66th Street is a busy southwest Lubbock crossing, and the crash came just after 6 p.m. in mid-November — the part of the evening when daylight is fading and the after-work traffic is still heavy. Police have not linked the timing or light conditions to the crash; those are questions the Major Crash Unit's reconstruction is meant to answer.

What happens next

The Major Crash Unit's investigation continues. Its report will establish the sequence of the collision and whether the case goes to prosecutors. Until that report is complete, the confirmed record is narrow: a 49-year-old man standing in the northbound lanes of Milwaukee Avenue was struck by a northbound pickup at about 6:05 p.m. on November 13 and died where officers found him. Anyone who witnessed the crash and has not spoken to investigators should contact the Lubbock Police Department.
