Investigators said 21-year-old Aiden Moyer was a front passenger in a Ford F-150 pickup driven by a 16-year-old when he lost his hat out of the door window. After the truck came to a stop, Moyer exited the vehicle to retrieve the hat. The truck reversed down the road and struck him.
Moyer was transported to a hospital in Russell, where he died. The other occupants were not hurt, including the teenage driver and two other passengers.
The incident occurred just after midnight Saturday in Russell County at 195th Street and Lincoln Lane.
