The woman was talking to someone in the parking lot of the club on I-35E and Walnut Hill when she was struck by the truck's giant wheels.
Melinda Gutierrez with Dallas Police says the driver claimed he didn't see the woman because his truck is so high off the ground. Gutierrez says when the truck started to drive off several witnesses ran the truck down and stopped the driver.
The woman, 23-year-old Kasey McKenzie of Granbury who was an employee of the club, died at the scene from her injuries.
The driver, identified as Eric Crutchfield, was taken into custody. He remains jailed on charges of intoxication manslaughter and driving with a suspended license.
