Woman killed after being struck by garbage truck in Woodbury

A woman died after being struck by a garbage truck last week in Woodbury, according to authorities.

Authorities said they received reports at 6:14 a.m. Dec. 10 of a collision involving a garbage truck and a pedestrian at Autumn Drive and Autumn Bay, in the Seasons development.

When police officers arrived, they found a woman who was pronounced dead at the scene. The Minnesota State Patrol was called in to conduct an accident reconstruction.
