SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A man in his 70s or 80s was found dead, pinned between a commercial trash bin and a wall in La Jolla Wednesday. An employee at Jonathan’s Market in the 7600 block of Fay Avenue found the body about 7 a.m., according to San Diego police. His name was not immediately available. Police looked at video from the store and saw images of a tractor-trailer backing into the alley, leading them to believe the truck hit the garbage bin and pushed it into the man, San Diego police spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown said. It isn’t clear if the driver knew what he had done. Police said they believe the driver was trying to make a delivery to Jonathan’s, unaware that the receiving dock had closed hours earlier. Authorities have not released his name, but some employees at Jonathan’s told police they recognized the victim as someone who lived nearby, police Sgt. Jim Reschke said.
