An accident has claimed the life of a pedestrian at a Davenport truckstop. It happened a few minutes past noon on Saturday at the Flying J on Interstate 80.
Police say a runaway recreational vehicle hit the pedestrian, a gas pump and two other vehicles. Seventy-four-year-old Mary LeMay of Centerville, Tennessee died at the scene. Police say she was standing outside the RV, being driven by her husband, guiding him into a parking space, when it went out of control.
Children in one of the cars struck were treated at the scene for scrapes and bruises. No one else was hurt although the driver of the RV, whose name was not released, was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation. His condition was not immediately available.
Police say charges are not anticipated.
