A 32-year-old man was killed after being pinned between a tractor-trailer and a loading dock Tuesday in the northeast Las Vegas Valley, police said.

Evidence at the scene and surveillance video indicated a 2015 Volvo tractor-trailer entered the private property at 4875 East Cheyenne Ave. and backed into a loading bay that was several feet from the bay door at 4:49 p.m., the Metropolitan Police Department said.

Police said the driver was standing behind the vehicle and the vehicle unexpectedly went into reverse, pinning him against the dock bumper.

The driver, identified as a 32-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, was located hours later. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
