At approximately 8:15 p.m. on Friday, July 4, 2014, a 69-year-old female got off an ETS bus with her groceries at a bus stop in the northwest corner of the Webber Greens Drive and Lewis Greens Drive intersection. The woman stepped off the curb near the corner and began crossing Webber Greens Drive when she was struck by a westbound Dodge Dakota. Several witnesses attempted life saving procedures until Fire Rescue and EMS arrived and took over, but the woman was declared deceased on scene by paramedics. The driver of the truck did not report any injuries.
The EPS Major Collision Investigation Section continues to investigate what factors may have contributed to the collision, however, alcohol is not believed to be a factor at this time. It is not known at this time whether there will be charges against the 25-year-old male driver of the truck.
