An 82-year-old St. Catharines man is dead after he was struck and killed by someone who stole his vehicle.<\/p>\n

Niagara police say Larry Pearce was sitting in his vehicle at Charles Daley Park in Lincoln near the QEW and North Service Road between 9 and 9:40 a.m. on July 18.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe he was driving out of the park when he stopped and engaged in an interaction with an unknown suspect near the front entrance.<\/p>\n

During that encounter, police say Pearce exited his 2012 silver Honda CRV and the suspect got into the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

Police say Pearce stood in front of his vehicle in an attempt to prevent the suspect from leaving with it, but he was hit and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

The suspect then fled in the Honda. <\/p>\n

Pearce succumbed to his injuries in the hospital later that day.<\/p>\n

The CRV was last seen heading Niagara-bound on the QEW near Seventh Street and has an Ontario license plate reading 24FS30 and a fire service emblem.<\/p>\n
