Witnesses say a black truck with a tow arm on the rear hit and killed Pozzi as she crossed State Road. Pozzi did not use a crosswalk.
At about 5:20pm, a 33-year-old woman who has not yet been identified was struck by a tow truck so hard that she became airborne before landing on the ground. The driver did not stop to render aid, and left the woman lying there in critical condition with a broken neck. Though the woman was taken to the hospital, she died of her severe injuries shortly thereafter. Check back for updates.

That man has to be callous, empathetic towards the human race. I know accidents happen, but leaving a person bleeding on the road is unforgivable. I feel for the family. Words are not going to bring Theresa back. My son, Rick was her friend. This is so sad that it happend so close to Christmas. R.I.P. Mrs. Calabrese. You are an angel now.
