LAKELAND, Fla. — Lakeland police said a 92-year-old man, who was hit by a slow-moving pickup truck on Monday, died from injuries that he received when he fell from the impact.

Painter was hit by the truck at a low speed, police said. He was transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, as a result of his fall.
Painter died shortly after arriving at the hospital, police said.
