BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A pedestrian was struck and killed in Brooklyn early Thursday morning.

Police say the man, who appears to be in his late 30s or early 40s, was found just before 3:10 a.m. at the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Kosciusko Street.

The victim was pronounced dead at Methodist Hospital.

According to the NYPD, no witnesses reported what happened, and so detectives are investigating the man's death as an suspected hit-and-run.

Employees at businesses along Bedford Avenue tell Eyewitness News they saw the area taped off when they got to work in the morning. One person said this is the second time an incident like this happened in the area in the last few weeks.

Authorities are canvassing the neighborhood for surveillance cameras in order to determine what happened.
