An elderly woman died Thursday after being hit by a dairy truck in Cumberland.
According to police, the elderly pedestrian was hit just after 6 a.m. Thursday while trying to cross Dexter Street near the intersection with High Street.
There has been an alarming number of crashes involving pedestrians in the last few weeks; including in Providence, Dartmouth, Taunton, and West Greenwich.
Riceles Peralta, 81, died at Rhode Island Hospital Thursday night, according to police.
Sorry, arbitrarily reducing the speed limit on a roadway designed for high-speed and installing cameras so we can see cars running red-lights and slamming into old ladies will not prevent any crashes.
