Sometime around 10:30 this morning a truck somehow ran over the 46-year old man who was either on a bicycle or near the bike racks at South Point Park.
CBS4's Oralia Ortega spoke to witness Ricardo Ortega who was working at a nearby building. He said people heard a man screaming and when he looked down, he saw a horrifying scene.
"When I looked down, I see a guy in a pool of blood, underneath the dump truck in between the back wheels and the front wheels and I didn't see any screaming, any movements so I figured with the amount of blood that's there, it's not a good sight," said Ricardo Ortega.
Ricardo Ortega said that the driver of the truck was visibly upset.
Oralia Ortega reached out to the company the driver works for but the person who answered hung up.
No criminal charges, if any, have been filed. Miami Beach Police said they have to finish up their investigation before that is determined.
