Lincoln Police say a subcontractor who fell from a pick up while helping repaint fire hydrants near 77th and Old Cheney last month has died. LPD says the 24 year old man was riding on a bumper of the crew’s box truck that was going from one hydrant to the next on August 23.
LPD says the man dropped his cellphone and stepped off the bumper of the slow moving truck. He lost his balance and hit his head on the street.
Police say he was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died August 29.
