A 66-year-old Belmont woman was killed today when she was hit by a delivery truck on Cross Street.
Xuling Lu was trying to cross the street between Alexander Avenue and Farnham Street at around 5:54 a.m. when she was struck, according to Belmont Police, who were first on the scene.
Police would not release the identity of the truck driver because he had not been charged with a crime. Police described him as a 33-year-old man from Somerville.
After striking the woman, the truck driver stopped, flagged down another vehicle, and called 911. The woman was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and pronounced dead.
The truck was impounded. State Police and Belmont Police are currently investigating the incident.
