A woman from North Carolina was killed Friday afternoon when a tractor-trailer plowed into a gas station and convenience store in Lackawanna County.
It happened about 4:15 p.m. at the BP station on Route 524 in Scott Township, just off Interstate 81 near Waverly.
From Skycam 16 the truck cab could be seen inside the store. It just missed the gas pumps outside. Police are trying to determine if the woman who died was pumping gas or was simply near the pumps when she was struck by the truck.
Three people were taken to Community Medical Center. A man from the Lackawanna County Coroner's office said they should be OK. Police said the driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital after suffering a heart attack.
Police said the driver was not in the truck when it crashed. It was parked across the street and rolled into the store on its own.
Police said they are checking the truck to determine if a mechanical malfunction is to blame for the crash.
