A pedestrian was fatally struck by a FedEx truck Sunday afternoon on the Long Island Expressway in Jericho, police say.

According to police, the truck, operated by a 28-year-old man, was traveling eastbound in the right lane of the LIE when it struck a 33-year-old male pedestrian between Exits 40W and 40E.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by a Nassau County Police Department medic.

No other injuries were reported and the operator remained at the scene.

In a statement, a communications advisor for FedEx tells News 12, "We are aware of the incident and are cooperating with local police in their investigation."

The LIE was closed for about 6 hours Sunday.
