Woman killed by dump truck near St. Paul's Highland theater, police say

Police in St. Paul, Minnesota, say a woman was killed by a dump truck Thursday morning at a busy intersection in the city's Highland Park neighborhood.

Officers were called to Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue around 8 a.m. on a report of a pedestrian struck near the Highland movie theater.
