An elderly Ogden woman died at McKay-Dee Hospital from injuries sustained hours earlier when she was knocked down by a pickup truck, authorities say.

Millie Richeson Hill, 81, died late Thursday night, a hospital spokesman said.The truck knocked her to the pavement, where she struck her head, about 1 p.m., said South Ogden police officer William Barratt.

He estimated the driver, Connie Ott, 44, was traveling no more than 3 mph as she crept forward at an intersection to get a better view of heavy traffic.

Hill was walking with her husband, Fred LeRoy Hill, 83, who was not hurt.
