He was blind and walking with his dog. But he was walking on the street, so he fell over and got hit by a car.

Was his friend speaking to him when he died ?
If so had he just told him some big news ?

I was thinking a big hole in the street that he fell into, but meh. 
He tripped as he was walking and fell on the ground. A car was coming and couldn't stop in time because the driver was on his cell phone complaining to the city about the poor condition of the road, and ran the poor man over.
Or, he tripped as he was walking and fell on the ground and broke his leg. A friend who had been walking with him ran up to the top of the road (it was a steep hill) to get his car so he could help his friend to the hospital. Unfortunatly, in his haste he accidently knocked the car into gear. The car careened down the hill out of control and sadly ran over the poor man as he lay sprawled in the roadway, thus killing him.

Were there any open manholes?
Did his good friend happen to have some sort of secret disgust with this man?

Does the word "dies" have an alternate meaning such as "lives" so in which there would be a loophole in the wording.*being difficult...i think so*
