A man was killed and his grown daughter seriously hurt after they were hit by a car in New Brighton, Beaver County Monday evening, county dispatch and KDKA-TV reported.
The accident occurred at Third Avenue and 11th Street in front of the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe at around 7:30 p.m. The woman was taken to Heritage Valley Medical Center and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, New Brighton police told KDKA.
Mike McKinney, owner of FM Bistro and Deli in Beaver Falls, was driving a U-Haul north on Third Avenue when he came to a stop to let the man and woman cross. But he watched a small red Nissan truck headed in the other direction strike the two, carrying the man on the hood of the car for some distance. He ran to the woman's side and said she was screaming "Where's my dad?"
The driver was taken in for questioning by police, KDKA reported.
