INDIAN SHORES — A 40-year-old man was run over by his own truck and killed Wednesday evening after attempting to park in a space on 197th Avenue, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

After getting out of his vehicle, deputies said, the man, identified as Bao Le, noticed it moving backward and tried to hop back in to stop it. His left foot became stuck under the front driver's side tire and the truck, a 2003 Nissan Frontier, rolled over him, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said witnesses tried to use wood wedges to lift the truck up as the incident unfolded about 4 p.m. One brought a car jack and tried to unpin Le, but he died at the scene, the Sheriff's Office said.
