Investigators believe he was likely hit by the side mirror of a truck that kept on driving.
 
Florida Highway Patrol said they may have located the truck involved in the accident.

Cattaneo remains hospitalized at Orlando Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. His mother said he has a long recovery ahead.
 
FHP has impounded a 2014 red Chevrolet Silverado they said has damage consistent with what would have resulted from the accident.
 
FHP said it has spoken with the owner of the truck, but troopers still trying to confirm it was connected to the crime and who might have been driving at the time.
