A man, hit by a car Friday, died at Desert Regional Medical Center.

Palm Springs Police tell KPSP Local 2 66 year old Gary Stephen Champine of the state of Washington was walking on the sidewalk on North Farrell Drive Friday morning around 10:10 a.m.

That's when the driver of a Mercedes lost control of his car near the intersection of Farrell Drive and East Tachevah Dr.

The car went up on the curb and hit the man, sending him flying several feet.

The Mercedes then rolled over. The driver, who was headed to a job interview, was not seriously hurt.

Champine was taken by ambulance to Desert Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

Police didn't say if anyone will be charged, but said they don't believe drugs and alcohol were involved.
