HERKIMER (AP) -- Authorities have released the name of the 47-year-old man who died after being struck by a car while trick-or-treating with his son in a Mohawk Valley community on Halloween night.
State police say Preston Scott was walking on a street in the town of Herkimer, 58 miles east of Syracuse, when he was hit by a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old Utica woman.
Family members said Scott was taking his 8-year-old son trick-or-treating when the accident occurred around 6:50 p.m. The relatives said Scott had moved to Herkimer from Utica earlier this year to be closer to his son.
The boy wasn't injured.
Troopers say they don't expect any charges to be filed against the driver.
