SMITHFIELD – A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle in the Food Lion parking lot, at 851 W. Market Street, in West Smithfield. The accident happened around 5:30pm Friday.
The pedestrian appeared to be just feet from the main entrance to Food Lion when they were struck by a silver pickup.
Police were seen questioning the driver of the pickup. One officer was spotted using a window tint meter on the truck’s windshield and side windows.
Smithfield Police have not released the name of the pedestrian.
A motorist told The Johnston County Report they saw the same truck pull into the parking lot a very short time before the crash. “He came in on two wheels and almost hit us. I tried to look into the truck to see who it was but I couldn’t because of the tinted windows. I said to myself he is going to hurt somebody. When I saw the picture on Johnston County Report I recognized it was the same truck that almost hit me.”…
