COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Gilbert, S.C., man hit by a pickup truck on the William Jennings Dorn VA Medical Center campus Monday has died.
Duane Mack, 85, was walking with a relative outside the center when a Lincoln pickup truck jumped a curb and pinned him underneath, Columbia Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said.
Mack was transported to Palmetto Health Richland hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 10:44 a.m., Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said.
The truck’s driver, whose identity was not available, was trying to park at the hospital and suddenly accelerated, Timmons said. After hitting Mack, the truck also struck a small brick wall.
The truck’s passengers were seen by medical staff as a precaution, Timmons said. Mack’s relative was not hurt.
The police department does not believe the crash was intentional, Timmons said. It was not known whether any charges had been filed.
