Upon their arrival they discovered that a female victim had sustained severe head injuries. She was immediately transferred to a local area hospital where she later succumbed to her injures.
The incident was investigated by our accident investigation team and it was determined that the driver of the vehicle pulling a trailer was unaware of the victim's presence behind him, while he was readjusting the trailer to complete a service call.
The victim was fatally injured as a result of contact with the 8000 pound trailer.
Our thoughts and prayers go out the family and friends who are grieving this tragic loss.
Mid America Live News will update when the name of the women is released to us.
