The victim, an 86-year-old man, was crossing Dahlgren Place in Bay Ridge around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, when the collision occurred. The impact of the crash was so severe that the man's head was separated from his body.
Distressing images captured at the scene depict law enforcement officers covering the grisly scene with a single sheet, with the DOT truck visible in the background. The victim's body was found several yards away from the point of impact, lying in the crosswalk.
