A 62-year-old man from Colorado Springs died after being struck by a vehicle Thursday morning while on his way to a jobsite, according to Colorado State Patrol.

The man stepped away from his parked dump truck with his back to an active lane of oncoming traffic around 7 a.m. at the corner of Gleneagle Drive and Huntington Beach Drive in north Colorado Springs, State Patrol said. He was struck by a vehicle driven by an 18-year-old male driver, who sustained no injuries.

Witnesses said the pedestrian was attempting to cross the lanes of traffic to contact co-workers in the area. The workers were picking up dirt on Huntington Beach Drive, state patrol said. The glare from the sunrise is a factor being considered in the crash, said Troy Kessler, a spokesman for the patrol.

When a person dies as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct, the surviving family members may have a wrongful death action against the person or party who caused the death. This when they need to hire a Colorado Springs wrongful death claims lawyer that often arise out of car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, train and bus accidents, and other incidents involving negligence.
