A 96-year-old woman was killed when a pickup truck driver crashed into her Toyota sedan while she was driving through a Fremont intersection Thursday morning, police said.

The crash was reported at 6:56 a.m. at the intersection of Fremont Boulevard and Parish Avenue, according to police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques.

The woman was headed west on Parish Avenue and was hit on the driver’s side by a pickup truck headed north on Fremont Boulevard.

The Toyota driver was trapped in the car briefly. Despite medical aid, she was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The woman’s name has not been released. Police said she is a Fremont resident.
