Man struck, killed by recycling truck in Hudson

Hudson police say a 19-year-old man is dead after he was struck by a recycling truck.

Police say Kevin W. Johnson was on the sidewalk when he entered the road about the same time the truck was making a right-hand turn just after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Johnson had a bicycle with him but police don't know if he was riding or walking the bike.

Johnson was killed. The truck driver, who's from Brooklyn Center, Minn., was not hurt.

Hudson police are investigating and ask anyone who saw the accident to call them.
