The victim’s age and name were not immediately released, nor were further details on the circumstances of the collision.
The incident happened the night before Thanksgiving. A shopper told News4 authorities blocked off the entrances and exits of the lot after the crash. He urged fellow drivers to be more careful, especially with the holidays around the corner.
“It’s very important. It’s the holiday season. I think people really need to pay attention a little bit more,” said Daniel Shirali.
