The incident occurred in the area of Forbes Avenue and Pride Street in the Uptown neighborhood, where police arrived at about 10:30 a.m. The victim was found dead at the scene.

A preliminary investigation determined that the man was walking on the sidewalk of Pride Street near UPMC Mercy Hospital when he stumbled into the roadway. He was then hit by a box truck, whose driver said he did not see the man prior to the crash.
