A 22-year-old pizza delivery man died after he was mowed down by a hit-and-run driver on a Brooklyn street Thursday, cops and witnesses said.
Luis Torres was at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 59th St. on his bike delivering pies for Amnon Kosher Pizza when he was hit by a Budget box truck, police and family said.
The 25-year-old driver of the truck attempted to flee the scene of the 6:30 p.m. accident, but was apprehended by police a block away, cops said. He was expected to be charged Thursday night.
Torres was taken to Lutheran Hospital, but could not be saved.

My condolences to his family. What a terrible thing to happen, and at such a young age. May they know only joy from now on.
