On Aug. 6 at 10:30 a.m., WPS patrol units responded to a report of a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Smith Street.
Investigators believed that a woman was attempting to cross Smith at Broadway when she was hit and run over by the moving truck.

It was determined that prior to the collision, the truck had been travelling northbound on Smith and then turned eastbound onto Broadway but as the truck turned, it cut the curb and struck the woman.
The woman, in her late 80s, was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and on Aug. 8, she succumbed to her injuries.
