Woman hit by semi may be cited

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A woman hit by a tractor trailer this morning may faces charges.

Wilmington Police say Ruth Henry was crossing New Centre Drive from the east side of S. College Road. With traffic backed up, she walked behind a truck stopped at the light.

She tried to step over the trailer behind the vehicle, but as she did so, the light turned green. Henry was knocked down and dragged for twenty to thirty feet and may have broken her arm.

Police will not file charges against the driver. Henry may be cited for not crossing in a crosswalk.
