A waste collection employee of American Waste Control, Tulsa, Oklahoma, was pronounced dead on the scene after being struck by a car on Nov. 14, reports News On 6 KOTV of Tulsa.
The crash took place at 209 West Ave. in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, shortly before 6 a.m., reports KOTV.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has identified the employee as Clarence Bond, 44, whose wife has created a Gofundme page to help pay for funeral costs and additional household expenses.
Authorities say Bond was struck by a 2017 Honda Civic driven by a 24-year-old woman when he was stepping off the truck to get a trash can.
Police are reviewing security footage captured at the time of the incident and will defer to the district attorney’s office whether to charge the driver, reports KOTV.
The Recycling Today Media Group has reached out to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol to independently confirm details of the incident and to American Waste Control for comments.
