Per ESPN

"DA Bill Fitzpatrick told the station (WSYR) that the man was outside his car on Interstate 690 after being involved in another unrelated accident due to bad weather. Boeheim's car struck the man around midnight."

According to reports, Boeheim is cooperating with the investigation, and no evidence of alcohol or drugs was detected. He was reportedly traveling at the proper speed for the highway when the fatal accident occurred.
