TOOELE — A 32-year-old woman was hit and killed by a pickup truck Wednesday, according to police.

Tooele Police Sgt. Colbey Bentley said the accident happened about 10:15 p.m. at about 450 S. Main.

Officers were dispatched to the area, where they found the woman injured after being hit by a pickup truck headed south, according to a social media post by the police department. She died at the scene while first responders were giving her aid, Bentley says.

The truck driver is cooperating with police, and investigators say the woman was not in the crosswalk when she was struck. Following the crash, both lanes of Main Street were closed for around three hours.

The pickup truck driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, which is still ongoing, according to Bentley. The social media post says charges presumably for the driver, are pending the results of the investigation.

Because police are still working to locate and notify woman's family, her identity has not been release, the post says.

Correction: A previous version of this article spelled Sgt. Colbey Bentley's name as Colby.
