WWE Hall of Famer "Luscious" Johnny Valiant was struck and killed by a car in western Pennsylvania on Wednesday morning.

TribLive.com reports Valiant, whose real name is Thomas M. Sullivan, was crossing McKnight Road in Ross Township in Allegheny County when he was struck.

Sullivan, 71, was later pronounced dead at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.

"At this point in the investigation, there is no indication that this was anything other than a terrible accident," Ross Detective Brian Kohlhepp told TribLive.com.

Sullivan was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame in 1996. He and his brother Jimmy were known as the Valiant Brothers in the 1970s and early 1980s.
