A 71-year-old man died Tuesday after trying to stop a tractor-trailer from rolling away in Rochester.

The man was hit and pulled underneath the tires and he and other contractors attempted to stop the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have not released the man’s name.

Police said the truck was not in park at the time of the accident.

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating.
