Narrative
ANDOVER, MA – A 5-year-old girl died Tuesday after being struck by a tractor-trailer in downtown Andover. The Andover police were alerted to the accident by several 911 calls about a pedestrian being hit by a truck at the intersection of Elm and Main streets. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by state police.
The tractor-trailer was reportedly pulling out from the left-turn lane on the westbound side of Elm Street and heading onto the southbound side of Main Street at the time of the accident. A witness said that the girl was in the crosswalk with another child and a woman who was pushing a baby carriage. The witness also saw a small scooter lying in the street after the collision.
The truck driver immediately stopped and cooperated with police. Several additional pedestrians who were in the crosswalk but not hit were taken to an area hospital as a precaution.
