A truck driver from upstate New York was killed while standing next to his parked tractor trailer after being struck by a motorist in Maspeth during the early hours Wednesday morning.

Chad Hallenbeck, 49, from East Durham, was hit in front of 56-05 Grand Ave. by a 43-year-old woman who was driving a 2007 Chevy sedan at around 2:52 a.m.

When police arrived on the scene, they found Hallenbeck lying on the roadway with severe body trauma. EMS declared him dead at the scene.

The driver sustained minor injuries and remained at the crash site.

There have been no arrests. The investigation remains ongoing.
