NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A pedestrian has been struck and killed by a postal truck in Brooklyn Friday evening.
Surveillance video captured the moment a U.S. Postal Service truck stopped at a crosswalk, then started to drive just as the man walked in front.
Police say 52-year-old Charles McClean was killed at the intersection of MacDougal Street and Howard Avenue around 5 p.m.
“I was with my brother last night,” Arkim McClean, the victim’s brother said.
“I was getting him to go to church with me… but when God calls, God calls. That’s all I can say.”
The USPS truck driver stopped on the other side of the intersection and stayed at the scene until police arrived. More
