SOUTHWEST HARBOR, Maine (AP) - Police say a tractor-trailer struck an 89-year-old woman who later died on Maine’s Mount Desert Island.

The Bangor Daily News reports that the Southwest Harbor woman fell Tuesday morning as she walked toward a truck that was turning right on Village Green Way from a parking area beside a local library.

Police say the truck’s rear passenger-side tires struck her.



Police have not released the name of the woman. She died of her injuries at a Bangor hospital.
