MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — A teenage pedestrian is dead after an SUV struck him on Highway 61 in Maplewood on Monday morning, authorities said.

The Minnesota State Patrol says the crash occurred at about 5:45 a.m. in the highway's southbound lanes near Highway 36.

The victim, later identified as 17-year-old Maplewood resident Heriberto Serverino-Luna, was killed. The 30-year-old driver, also from Maplewood, wasn't hurt.

The state patrol doesn't believe alcohol played a role in the crash. The highway was shut down for hours as investigators reconstructed the crash.

This was the second serious crash in the east metro Monday morning. A crash on eastbound Interstate 494 diverted traffic near Fifth and Seventh streets.
