New York strong man Joe Rollino killed by car aged 104
Joe Rollino sustained head and chest injuries, as well as a broken pelvis. He died hours later in hospital.
Mr Rollino, who weighed 10st 10lb (68kg) at the peak of his career, was one of the strongest men for his size.
A decorated World War II veteran and lifelong vegetarian, he could still bend coins between his fingers.
Mr Rollino started performing as a strong man in the 1920s, and was part of the Oldetime Barbell and Strongmen organisation.
He later made a living as a travelling boxer under the name Kid Dundee.
