Boston woman, 35, dies after being struck by pickup in Abington

The driver of the truck stayed on scene and called 911.

A Boston woman, 35, died after being hit by a pickup truck in Abington Tuesday night.

The victim, identified as Marissa Voller, was walking along Route 18 when she was allegedly struck by a pickup truck around 7:07 p.m. She was found in the road by first responders, according to Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz.

Voller was taken to South Shore Hospital, where she died, authorities said.

Voller was reportedly in the left travel lane when she was struck. Conditions were misty that evening, and visibility wasn’t optimal, which could have been contributing factors, according to Cruz.

The driver of the pickup, a man, called 911. Authorities didn’t say if he will be charged, according to the DA. The investigation is ongoing.
