A 68-year-old man lost his life after being hit by a box truck in the Bronx on October 28th. According to police, the fatal collision occurred around 12:23 p.m. at the intersection of East 149th Street and Third Avenue in Melrose — a busy area known for heavy truck and pedestrian traffic.
Authorities said the victim was walking south across the crosswalk when a 2019 Isuzu box truck traveling west on East 149th Street struck him, causing severe leg injuries. Emergency responders transported the man to Lincoln Hospital, where he was initially listed in stable condition but tragically succumbed to his injuries later that evening at approximately 7:02 p.m. His name has not yet been released pending family notification.
