The other pedestrian, a man accompanying Jordan, refused medical treatment.
Witnesses told police the truck clipped the sidewalk and hit the two pedestrians before crashing into the Cocoa Village Playhouse building.
Managing director Benjamin Cox told News 6 that he and the CEO of the historic Cocoa Village Playhouse were inside when the truck plowed into the wall. He said he was thankful it was just them inside, and that the building was closed.
“I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here at the Playhouse; our hearts go out to the victim and everyone involved in this accident,” Cox said.
