A pedestrian killed when a truck rolled across three intersections in central Dunedin has been named.
Connor Harley Latty, 20, died at the scene when he was hit by a runaway truck in Police St near the intersection with Crawford St (State Highway 1) about 7.55am on Friday.
The truckstruck Latty before hitting several cars, the spokesman said.
Latty was understood to be on the way to his work at Repco when he was hit.
In a death notice published in today’s Otago Daily Times, Latty’s family paid tribute to him.
“Thoughts of Connor will always bring beautiful memories and smiles to family and friends.”
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said the investigation into the crash was continuing.
The commercial vehicle safety team, along with the serious crash unit, attended the scene on Friday and the crash had been referred to WorkSafe.
“Now it is a case of reviewing all the evidence before a decision is made about the outcome.”
A witness said the driver was not in the truck at the time of the incident, but appeared to be talking to mechanics at an auto parts store in Carroll St when the truck began to move.
