Investigators believe the elderly man was crossing the street when the driver of a truck who was making an eastbound turn, entered the crosswalk and came to a sudden stop.
Police said it was not evident whether the man was struck by the truck or was startled and fell as a result of other medical conditions.
The 61-year-old driver was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian.
