A man was killed early this morning when he was struck by a dump truck driving in reverse in a construction zone on Interstate 495 in Lawrence.

The accident happened at about 1:30 a.m. in the closed left lane of the highway near the Merrimack Street exit, State Police said in a statement.

The driver of the 1989 10-wheel Mack dump truck was not hurt; neither was a woman sitting in the passenger seat.

The man hit by the truck was declared dead at the scene. His identity was withheld pending notification of his family, police said.
