He was taken to hospital with a head injury, but died as a result of his injuries on Wednesday.
The driver involved in the collision remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, and no charges have been laid. Speed and alcohol do not appear to have played a role, police said.
A VPD collision investigation unit is still investigating the crash. Police saide it is the second traffic-related death in the city in 2015.
