BOSTON -- A homeless man sleeping beneath a truck was killed when the driver began to move the vehicle.
That accident happened Saturday just before noon near the Pine Street Inn, a homeless shelter in Boston's South End neighborhood.
Officials at the shelter said the man had stayed there only about a half-dozen times over the past few years and had not stayed at the shelter the night before the accident.
Police and staff at the shelter are investigating why the man was under the truck.
Shelter officials are also reviewing the driving record of the truck operator, who is an employee of the shelter.
