A 65-year-old man was fatally struck and runover by a FedEx truck on Saturday morning in Kingsbridge Heights, police say.
Police had not released the victim’s name by Sunday afternoon. Sources said the victim was crossing West Kingsbridge Road near University Avenue when he was struck.
Surveillance video showed the victim within the crosswalk as the red walk signal flashed, then the FedEx truck turned the corner and ran over the man.
Sources said it happened around 11:30 a.m. and the victim died from his injuries at a hospital.
The 24-year-old FedEx driver remained on scene, according to sources, and no arrests had been made as of Sunday evening.
One man said he was working inside of a nearby cellphone store and ran out after the crash happened.
“The guy was on the floor, and there were a lot of ambulances, and the cops were over there,” said Faizal Khanusiya. “They were trying to help him, and I didn’t know if he was dead or what, but he was on the floor and the driver was very upset.”
The city’s Vision Zero data shows the intersection is one of 3,000 “priority intersections” – which has the highest number of pedestrians killed or severely injured in the five boroughs.
News 12 reached out to FedEx on Sunday, but their website states media requests are monitored during regular weekday business hours.
