Buffalo Police are investigating a fatal accident involving a pedestrian and an off-duty peace officer for the Erie County Sheriff’s Office. It happened Friday afternoon at 74 Elmwood. The pedestrian, an 82-year-old man, was taken to ECMC, where he died early Saturday morning.

Police say the off-duty officer was using his personal vehicle and is cooperating with investigators. Because a member of law enforcement is involved, the State Attorney General’s Office has been notified.
