BELMONT (CBS SF) - A man was injured and his dog was killed when they were hit by a truck in Belmont Monday morning, according to police.
The 69-year-old San Mateo man and his pet pit bull mix were crossing Middle Road at Notre Dame Avenue in a crosswalk at about 8:50 a.m. when they were struck by a 2001 Dodge pickup truck, according to the Belmont Police Department.
The 58-year-old driver was headed south on Notre Dame Avenue and was turning east onto Middle Road when the collision occurred.
