Claudiu-Carol Kondor returned to his van in Leeds after delivering a package on Tuesday evening to discover the theft taking place.
But the suspect drove off at speed with Kondor dragged along while partially out of the passenger door of the vehicle, before being left injured in the street. As he lay unconscious and seriously injured in Heights Drive, Wortley, passers-by went to Kondor’s aid and ambulance staff gave emergency treatment, but he was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
It is understood Kondor was delivering Amazon packages while working for SP Transport Group, which is partnered with the company. His van was later found by police several miles away from the scene of the theft.
Detectives have launched a murder investigation and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
