An 82-year-old man died at a hospital over the weekend after he was pulled from a truck that caught fire.

Marchell Larson was driving north on 7^th Street about 10 a.m. June 29 when the bed of his truck caught fire, police said.

While passing Dunlap Avenue, witnesses told authorities the truck, engulfed in flames, crashed into a wall, according to a release from the Phoenix Police Department.

A witness removed Larson from the truck before Phoenix Fire Department personnel arrived to extinguish the fire and take Larson to a hospital where he later died, police said.

The cause of the fire and victim’s death remain under investigation.
