An elderly man is dead after his wife accidentally struck him with a pickup truck in their driveway Saturday afternoon, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The crash happened around 12:46 p.m. in the 13000 block of Tiffany Pines Circle.
Investigators say the woman backed a Ford pickup truck out of the driveway and struck her husband, who was standing behind the truck.
Jacksonville Fire Rescue responded to the scene and pronounced the man dead upon arrival. The woman remained at the scene and is cooperating with detectives, according to JSO.
“This is the 82nd traffic fatality in Duval County this year and the 22nd involving a pedestrian,” JSO said.
