A pedestrian who was hit by a garbage truck near the entrance of an apartment complex on Terrell Mill Road suffered serious injuries Wednesday morning, according to Cobb Police.
Officer Sydney Melton said in a release that Diana A. Ramone, 35, of Marietta, was rushed to WellStar Kennestone Hospital after the incident, which took place at 6:53 a.m.
Melton said Ramone was walking on the northern side of Terrell Mill near the entrance to the Sedona Falls complex, 1717 Waterfall Village Drive, when a blue 2016 Mack MRU600 truck owned by American Disposal Services turned into the apartment community and hit her in the crosswalk.
That’s near the Terrell Mill-Cobb Parkway intersection, and police said a portion of the road was closed for a while as they began investigating.
Police said the driver of the truck, Charles Strong, 45, was not injured.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Department at 770-499-3987.
