An 87-year-old man was killed after being struck by truck in Bensonhurst Thursday afternoon.
Authorities say that on Sept. 27, at approximately 2:50 p.m., Bath Beach resident Carmine Bruzzese was crossing 86th Street on 21st Avenue, north to south, when a Mack truck driving through the intersection struck him.
Cops say that the 43-year-old driver of the truck was stopped at a red light on 86th Street heading westbound when, once the traffic light turned green, he continued forward despite Bruzzese’s crossing at the crosswalk.
