LODI — Authorities say an elderly woman taking out her trash was struck and killed by a dump truck at a senior citizen apartment complex in northern New Jersey.
Lodi police tell The Record that the woman was walking to a trash bin when she was hit Wednesday morning. The truck was backing up at the time and the woman, who was hard of hearing, apparently didn?t hear the vehicle approach.
The name of the woman and the truck driver were not released. No charges were expected to be filed, but an investigation is ongoing.
The complex is run by the Lodi Housing Authority, and officials there said the truck driver was longtime authority employee. Witnesses said the man was ?screaming and distraught? after the accident.
