The Modesto Police Department said it was the 15th traffic-related death in the city in 2026.
"He did not see the pedestrian in the crosswalk and unfortunately struck him," Modesto police Sgt. Kyle Johnson said.
Connor Cockrell, an employee at a corner store near the intersection, said he knew Heiss as a regular customer who went by Ed. Cockrell remembered him as a generous person who sometimes brought him home-cooked food.
Cockrell said he has seen other crashes and near-misses at the intersection, describing it as a difficult place for pedestrians to cross.
Heiss' death comes after two teenage girls were killed in a crosswalk on Coffee Road last month.
In Heiss' case, the 46-year-old truck driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said. The crash was captured on video, but investigators are still working to determine fault.
Police said charges could be forwarded later, but no decision had been made as of Wednesday.
