THE BRONX — A young man was killed Thursday night as he tried to run under a tractor-trailer as it came off the Cross Bronx Expressway in Claremont Village, police said.
Kenny Valette, 20, tried to cross Webster Avenue at East 174th Street about 8:20 p.m. by running under a tractor-trailer that was pulling off the expressway in an eastbound lane and turning right onto Webster, an NYPD spokesman said.
The truck hit Vallete, of Claremont, and he was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Medical Center, police said.
The driver remained on the scene and no criminality was suspected, police said.
