Police said the 71-year-old from Huron, Ohio, didn't park the tractor-trailer properly when he was undocking his truck. When the front part started to roll away and he tried to get it, police said he was pulled under the rear.
"There's a lot of trucks and a lot of traffic during the day, so we try to keep the kids inside as much until after everything clears out," said neighbor Kristina Warnick.
The Beaver Valley Regional Police Department called in the Pennsylvania State Police to help investigate and check the braking system. Initially, it doesn't appear that anything was wrong with the truck, police said.
"What if one of the kids were outside and it went rolling? So you know, it is scary," Warnick said.
The name of the man killed hasn't been released yet.

More than 117,000 people visited the show in 2024 and Devon and Cornwall Police said thousands were expected to return this year. Insp Adam Stonehill, who heads up the neighbourhood policing team in the area, said: "If you are attending the show, have a fantastic time and remember to drive carefully, drink responsibly and act safely." More news stories for Cornwall Listen to the latest news for Cornwall Mark Stoddart is at the helm of the show for the first time this year after previous secretary Chris Riddle stepped down as secretary after 35 years.

Pittsfield PD's 'Operation Copsicle' inspires San Antonio Police ice cream truck, uniting community through popsicles and prayer
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – What started as a sweet summertime tradition in Pittsfield to connect police officers with the community has now inspired a similar initiative nearly 2,000 miles away in San Antonio, Texas. Operation Copsicle delivers smiles, free treats in Pittsfield San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) recently launched its ice cream truck initiative, Police, Popsicles, and Prayer, aimed at fostering trust, dialogue, and inclusion in neighborhoods across the city. The effort takes its cues from Operation Copsicle, a Pittsfield Police Department program that has gained national recognition for using frozen treats to engage with local youth and families. The connection between the two departments came about last year when SAPD Community Officer Greene met Pittsfield Officer Derby at a Community Policing Conference. There, Officer Greene learned about Operation Copsicle and brought the concept back to Texas. Working in partnership with Unite SA Network, a local faith-based organization, SAPD officially rolled out its ice cream truck program earlier this year. A photo shared by Pittsfield Police shows SAPD officers standing with residents–including Pittsfield locals Kayla and Catie, who coincidentally encountered the truck while visiting San Antonio a few months ago. 'This is now the fifth police department in the U.S. and Canada to implement their version of a police ice cream truck after connecting with us,' Pittsfield Police said in a social media post. From Massachusetts to Texas, the mission remains the same: building community trust, one popsicle at a time. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
