LOGAN, Utah — A woman in a wheelchair was killed Friday after being struck by a cement truck as she was crossing a street in Logan.
The victim, 65-year-old Tina Marie Jackman, was crossing Main Street in a motorized wheelchair just before 10 a.m. when she was hit by the truck turning southbound from 200 North. Jackman sustained "substantial" injuries, which lead to her death, according to the Logan City Police Department.
"It was just an unfortunate set of coincidences that took place," said Asst. Chief of Police Jeff Simmons. "[The truck driver] feels badly, from what I understand. It's been quite an emotional toll, as it would be."
Because of the accident investigation, drivers were asked to avoid the area near 200 North Main and take alternate routes for several hours.
