MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities have identified an 86-year-old woman struck and killed by a garbage truck while crossing the street in suburban Cleveland.
The medical examiner in Cleveland said Friday that the victim was Pearl Caldwell of Mayfield Heights, who was running a drug store errand when she was struck.
Mayfield Heights police tell WJW-TV (http://bit.ly/z9sXzp ) that the victim was on her way back to meet her daughter when she was hit Thursday by a private company garbage truck. The driver was turning left into an intersection.
No charges were filed and police say it appears both the victim and driver had the green light.
