Police have identified a Windham woman as the pedestrian who was struck and killed by a pickup truck Friday night on Roosevelt Trail.
Lisa Reynolds, 47, died at the scene of the crash on Roosevelt Trail (Route 302) near the intersection of Trails End Road in North Windham, Windham police said Monday. Reynolds was hit shortly before 8 p.m. by an eastbound 2009 GMC Sierra truck driven by Margaret Hunter, 51, of Cape Elizabeth.
Capt. William Andrew said the crash remains under investigation and there are no pending charges against Hunter, who was not injured. Police are reconstructing the crash.
Andrew said investigators are looking at where Reynolds was walking and whether she was trying to cross Roosevelt Trail when she was struck. Reynolds was walking alone at the time of the crash, he said.
The section of Route 302 near Trails End Road has four lanes of traffic and a center turning lane. Trails End Road meets Route 302 between Kelly’s Sebago Diner and Richard’s Boat Yard Annex.
A fundraiser to cover funeral expenses has been created on gofundme.
“In memory of our dear friend and mother please help us raised enough money to honor this amazing woman,” Brandon Higgins, the campaign organizer, wrote in a post.
Reynolds attended Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, according to her Facebook page.
