Pedestrian Killed in Freak Accident
posted 5:45 pm Wed November 21, 2007 - Silver Spring, Md.
Thirty-five-year-old Norma Almeraya-Soria was trapped under the trailer. She was pronounced dead on the scene. Witnesses say she was walking or standing at the corner when the truck began turning and the axles and wheel carriage came off. Those who saw it happen say there was no way she could avoid it.
"This is terrible. This is really heart-breaking. I'm really feeling bad for the person and everything. It's really sad," said Kenrick Mohan, who witnessed the accident.
Rescue crews were called to the intersection of Columbia Pike (US-29) and Stewart Lane around 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Authorities are focusing on trying to figure out what caused the axle carriage to separate from the trailer.Latest Comment on Pedestrian Killed in Freak Accident

My heart goes out to the families of this woman as well as the truck driver, I think they should inspect all trucks so it will not happen again, I also heard this on the scanner then watch it on the traffic camera's. I pray this woman did not sufferm Dear father God, forgive this woman of her sins in Jesus name, Amen
