Saint Augustine, FL (March 14, 2019) - A Saint Augustine man is dead after being hit by a truck on Thursday, March 14th. The fatal crash took place around 6:55 a.m. on State Road 207.
According to reports, 43-year-old Charles Butler was traveling eastbound on SR-207 in a 2018 Nissan Titan pickup truck. At the same time, an unidentified pedestrian was attempting to cross the road and walking northbound when he was struck by the front right side of the truck.
