PORTLAND, Maine — The 58-year-old man killed when he was struck by a city dump truck Saturday was Robert Belanger, a city official announced Wednesday.
Belanger, a Portland resident, had been walking along outer Congress Street at 3:46 a.m. when Donald Penney hit him while driving a load of snow to be dropped in South Portland, according to city spokeswoman Jessica Grondin.
