Philadelphia: Hit and Run Truck Driver Kills Woman
April 29, 2008

Witnesses told police that an industrial truck, possibly with a red cab and blue trash receptacle on the back, fatally struck a woman, standing on the corner waiting to cross the street.

With a truck that large, it's possible the driver did not know that he struck and killed anyone. If the victim was struck by the side of the truck, there would likely not be damage to the vehicle.

Authorities were still trying to determine whether the victim stepped off the curb and whether the truck driver had a green light as he turned right.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene a short time after she was struck.

Witnesses told police that they did not see the truck driver stop, slow down or speed up after the accident.
