MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio - Authorities have identified an 86-year-old woman struck and killed by a garbage truck while crossing the street in Mayfield Heights.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office said Friday that the victim was Pearl Caldwell of Mayfield Heights, who was running a drug store errand when she was struck, crossing SOM Center Road at Monterey Drive.
Mayfield Heights police say 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.
