The incident took place in Hartford around 10:15 a.m., Friday, June 10 at 25 Laurel St., at the Underwood Elderly Apartments.
When officers arrived on the scene they located the man who was suffering from serious injuries due to the crash, said Sgt. Chris Mastroianni of the Hartford Police.
The victim was immediately transported to an area hospital where he died from his injuries, Mastroianni said.

The victim has not been identified pending notification of family members.
