Officials say a 43-year-old woman from California was walking through a parking lot when she was run over by a truck backing into a parking space. The truck driver, a 47-year-old from Comfrey, Minnesota, was not aware he hit anyone until a bystander told him.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and her name is being withheld until relatives are notified.

Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor in the accident, and it remains under investigation.
