DADE CITY - A pedestrian crossing a poorly lit area of U.S. 301 was struck by a car and killed Wednesday evening, police said.

About 6:15 p.m., shortly after the sun set, Rex Allen McBee, 56, was clad in dark clothing while walking from his home on McDonald Road to the Happy Days Bar to help hang Christmas decorations, police said.

As McBee crossed U.S. 301, Rhonda Guadarrama, 41, of Dade City was driving her 2005 Toyota south in the road's outside lane, police said. She didn't see McBee until it was too late, police said.

McBee was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officer Derrick Doty, the Dade City Police Department's traffic homicide investigator, is investigating the crash. It doesn't appear Guadarrama will face any charges, police said.
