Man In His Yard Struck, Killed By Garbage Truck

One person is dead following a crash Thursday morning in Ware. Mary Carey, spokesperson for the Northwestern District Attorney’s office, said that one man died after he was struck by a garbage truck around 9:30 a.m. on Church Street. Carey added that the victim, whose name has not been released, was working in his yard when the truck driver lost control of the vehicle. That trash truck came to a stop on a lawn, was heavily damaged, and also hit a telephone pole. That pole is down and National Grid is on-scene to cut the power so emergency crews can work.
