An 86-year-old Florida man was run over by a truck driven by his son several times on Saturday night and died at the hospital, according to officials.

Just after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, deputies responded to R Bar, in Treasure Island, Florida and found a 2019 black Dodge Ram backed into a parking space in the parking lot.

Investigators say 86-year-old Thomas McKeown walked towards the truck and appeared to fall down in front of the truck.

Officials say Mark McKeown was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death.

Thomas McKeown was taken to a local hospital and later died from his injuries, according to deputies.
