A man riding a “two-wheeled device” was fatally struck by a pickup truck during the Wednesday morning rush in the Bronx, police said.
The unidentified man was traveling west on East 145th Street in Mott Haven when a pickup truck heading south on Brook Avenue hit him at about 8:25 a.m., according to police.
He suffered severe head and body injuries and was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The 55-year-old pickup truck driver remained at the scene and had not been charged immediately, police said.
Authorities had not yet determined whether the victim was riding a bicycle, scooter or moped.
His name was withheld pending notification of his family.

The Bronx crash came two days after a 71-year-old bicyclist was killed in Central Park after colliding with a dog that was running loose, police said.
Douglas Adams was riding north on the East Drive near East 84th Street at about 8:20 a.m. Monday when he struck the unleashed Golden Retriever as it darted into the roadway, police and sources said.
The collision sent Adams over his handlebars and headfirst onto the pavement, police said.
He was rushed to Weill Cornell Medical Center but could not be saved.
The latest fatality also followed the death of a delivery worker last week, when a dump truck struck her e-bike in Herald Square and fled the scene, according to police and an advocacy group.
The truck hit the 50-year-old cyclist on the morning of Sept. 28 as both she and the driver traveled west on West 34th Street near Seventh Avenue, police said.
The woman was making a delivery on a JOCO rental e-bike and was pronounced dead at the scene.
