Surveillance footage from a nearby business showed the man crossing the street when he's struck by what appeared to be a dark colored pickup truck.
"At this time, our detectives are canvasing the area. They're looking for any possible surveillance footage that may have been available in the area to capture what occurred during that area," Delva said.
Northbound traffic along Northwest 27th Avenue between 37th - 38th Streets was shut down due to the crash investigation. Police urged drivers to seek an alternative route until further notice.
