The pickup truck driver told police he did not see the two men before the crash. Officers said the pedestrians were not using the crosswalk, but the collision is still under investigation.
Both men were taken to Community Regional Medical Center, where the 64-year-old died. The other man remains in the hospital with critical injuries.
The incident marks the 11th pedestrian death in Fresno this year.
