A woman was killed Wednesday when a dump truck hit her as she walked across a railroad crossing on the North Side, officials said. Lydia Neal was killed after she walked in front of the dump truck as she crossed at a railroad crossing in the 1200 block of Fresno Drive near Interstate 10, police said. The 48-year-old victim suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene, officers said. The man driving the dump truck said he did not see the victim. The driver does not face any charges, police said.
If someone you know was injured or killed as the result of a dump truck, garbage truck, cement truck or other large commercial vehicle, encourage them to immediately contact a competent attorney for advice. It is extremely important to do this quickly to ensure that evidence is preserved.
