Woman Dead after Dump Truck Accident

In Greencastle, PA, it is reported that on Thursday morning a woman died after a dump truck backed over her motorcycle.  48-year-old Vickie Morrison had been riding her bike near the 200 block of Commerce Avenue when the accident occurred at 7:32 AM.

38-year-old Clifford Sims was operating a dump truck that was traveling westbound on Commerce Ave and missed the left entrance into a construction site said a Pennsylvania State Police Trooper.  Sims stopped and checked his nearest and then put his truck into reverse without knowing that Morrison was driving right behind him.

Sims said that he did not see Morrison while he was backing up, but he realized he had run over something.  He got out of the truck and saw that Morrison and her bike were trapped beneath.  The Franklin County coroner arrived at the scene of the accident remains at the back of the dump truck, which was shielded by an orange curtain.

It is reported that authorities remained at the scene of the truck accident for over four hours.  At this time, police say the investigation will continue.
