A pedestrian has died after being hit by a car in East Millcreek.

The fatality occurred about 6 p.m. near 2940 East and 3300 South, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.

Linda Olson, 64, of Millcreek was crossing 3300 South with a friend at a crosswalk, walking south, when an eastbound Comcast utility truck struck Olson, Hoyal said.

Olson died en route to the hospital, Hoyal said.

Investigators were interviewing the driver of the truck as of 7:30 p.m.

Eastbound lanes were closed to traffic and likely would remain closed until at least 9:30 p.m., Hoyal said.

The Tribune will report further details as they become available.
