A man in a wheelchair died Thursday morning in Florida City after being hit by a tanker truck, according to reporting from Local 10 News.
The name of the man has not been released, but authorities told reporters that the pedestrian was an elderly man.
The incident happened around 4:37 a.m. when the driver of the tanker truck was headed down North Krome Avenue. The driver allegedly told police that he did not see the man.
A dog that attacked a 7-year-old boy playing with friends in a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood has since been euthanized, according to local media.
The incident happened on Tuesday, Nov. 18, around 3:45 p.m. near 1812 Northwest 15th Court. After he was bitten, the boy ran to a neighbor’s home for help where a Good Samaritan cleaned his wound and attempted to stanch the bleeding with gauze while another neighbor called 911.
The boy suffered a minor leg injury in the attack and was taken to Broward Medical Center.
