An elderly pedestrian was decapitated in Brooklyn when he was struck by a city Department of Transportation vehicle, cops and police sources said.
The man, 86, was crossing the street on Wednesday, June 12, around 3:30 p.m. when the truck smashed into him at Dahlgren Place in Bay Ridge, according to the NYPD.
The collision was so forceful that the victim’s head was severed from his body.
