A man on a skateboard was struck by a pickup truck and killed early Saturday in unincorporated Lakeland.

Scott Michael Sherman, 27, of Lakeland was riding a skateboard on Clubhouse Road near Harrell's Nursery Road around 12:20 a.m. when he was hit by a 2006 Ford F250, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

The driver, 37-year-old Terrance Rashon Green of Lakeland, stopped to render aid, as did residents from nearby homes. But Sherman died at the scene.

Investigators said Sherman was riding his skateboard in the middle of the eastbound lane of Clubhouse road and had no reflective clothing or lighting. That section of the road has no street lights.

Green and a passenger told deputies they did not see Sherman until after the impact. Since the crash did not set off the airbags in the truck, excessive speed was not suspected, the sheriff's office said.

Clubhouse Road at Harrell's Nursery Road was closed for about five hours after the crash.
