Lieutenant C.E. Burnette said Scott J. McCorkell, who lists a California address but was living on Carolina Rest Home Road, was attempting to cross the street when he was struck by an eastbound tractor-trailer shortly after 8:30 a.m.
Burnette said the truck driver applied brakes hard and drifted to the center lane in an attempt to keep from hitting the 37-year-old victim.
McCorkell was flown to Vidant in Greenville.
The driver will not be charged or cited.
