NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man standing next to his tractor-trailer in Queens was fatally struck by a driver early Wednesday, authorities said.
Just before 3 a.m., a 49-year-old man exited his truck in the eastbound lane of Grand Avenue near 57th Street in Maspeth when a Chevy sedan driver heading west on the same street swerved over the double yellow line and struck him, officials said.
The 43-year-old woman driving the Chevy then crashed into the parked, unoccupied tractor-trailer, police said.
The tractor-trailer driver sustained "multiple injuries" and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities.
The driver of the Chevy remained at the scene and was transported to Elmhurst Hospital Center and treated for minor injuries, the NYPD said.
