20-year-old woman on Halloween walk with child killed by pickup truck

A Missouri woman out for Halloween with her child has died after being hit by a pickup truck.

On Thursday, Oct. 31, Vidalia Boyer, 20, of Seneca, was walking with a 3-year-old boy in Granby when she was fatally struck by a southbound 2006 GMC Sierra, according to a crash report from Missouri State Highway Patrol.

According to authorities, the collision happened at 7:32 p.m. local time near Highway B in Granby, and the driver was 60-year-old Jeb Hann.

Boyer was struck by a pickup truck on the side of the road before Newton County Coroner Dale Owen pronounced her dead at the scene at 8:41 p.m., according to the Highway Patrol.

The toddler — also from Seneca — was taken to Mercy Hospital in Joplin by EMS and suffered “minor” injuries, according to the crash report.

Hann’s car was towed from the scene with “moderate” damage, authorities said. CBS affiliate COAM said Granby Fire Department, Granby Police, Newton County Deputies and Newton County EMS all responded to the scene and Boyer was pronounced dead at the scene after authorities attempted life support.

Other local outlets, including the NBC affiliate KYTV and a local radio station KTTN-FM were among the first to report this news.

Boyer’s relationship with the toddler was not clearly described in the crash report, nor is it clear if any arrests were made during the incident.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Newton County Sheriff’s Office and the Granby Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for additional information on Friday, Nov. 1.

According to KYTV, a fatal accident involving a child previously occurred in a similar location on October 10, when a boy riding a bicycle failed to stop at a stop sign and was hit by an SUV.

The collision happened on Cole Street near Pine Street, Lane COAMand a 10-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene after rescuers tried to save his life.
