HIALEAH, Fla. -

The widow of a man who died after being hit by a Jacksonville police cruiser Wednesday morning has hired a lawyer.

Alain Martin, 33, of Hialeah, had just gotten out of his tractor-trailer when a Jacksonville patrol car headed to an emergency call hit him.

Martin was taken to a hospital, where he died. The officer driving the cruiser was uninjured.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the officer had his emergency lights on and was responding to a report of a crash with injuries when Martin walked from behind his semi.

Martin is survived by his wife, Cynthia Martin, and their two sons.

Cynthia Martin said she has hired a lawyer.
