SAN ANGELO, TX — Friends and family mourned the death of 76-year-old Dennis Stewart who died May 31 as a result of injuries sustained when he was struck by a pickup truck in the parking lot of the 29th Street Walmart in San Angelo.
Police were dispatched to 610 W. 29th St. — the Walmart Supercenter— in reference to a Major Motor Vehicle Accident on May 26 at 4 p.m.
Upon arrival, police immediately began to administer first aid to an injured 76-year-old male. Stewart was rushed to Shannon Medical Center for treatment and the SAPD's Motors Division were requested to assist with the accident investigation.
At the conclusion of the preliminary investigation, it was learned that a 26-year-old male was driving a truck and was exiting a parking spot. While exiting the parking spot, Stewart was struck by the vehicle at a very low rate of speed.
