Woman Dies From Garbage Truck Accident
KENTUCKY...
A 51-year-old woman has died after being hit by a garbage truck as she was ending her work day at the Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management facility. Jefferson Officials identified the woman as Darlene Brown and said an autopsy was scheduled. Louisville police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said police were called to the scene Wednesday and found the woman dead when they arrived. Mitchell says the woman and another employee were apparently riding on the back of the garbage truck. They got off the truck when it pulled into the parking lot, but Mitchell says the driver apparently didn't see Brown walking in front of the truck and hit her.
