BRADENTON, Fla. — A 71-year-old woman died at a hospital Monday five days after being hit by a garbage truck in Bradenton, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say on Wednesday, a garbage truck was traveling north in the parking lot of 3589 Lake Bayshore Drive as the woman was walking through the lot.
The right side of the truck reportedly crashed into the walker the woman was using, which led to her falling onto the pavement.
The 71-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital with critical injuries but was later pronounced dead. The 58-year-old driver of the garbage truck wasn't hurt.
Troopers say no arrest has been made. The investigation of the crash remains ongoing.
