SELAH, Wash. – A 58-year-old Michigan man died at a hospital Thursday after being struck by a truck at a Zirkle Fruit warehouse.

Randy Skaluba was walking across a parking lot at the warehouse about 9:50 a.m. when he stepped in front of a moving semi-truck, according to a news release from the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office.

The truck’s driver 47-year-old Todd Steltz of South Dakota didn’t see Skaluba, the release said.

Skaluba suffered severe injuries to his legs and was taken to Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center, where he later died, the release said.

Skaluba was initially alert and talking at the hospital when his heart began failing, the release said.

Despite two hours of CPR, attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, the release said.

His family has been notified, and there is no indication that drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident, the release said.
