An elderly woman was killed after being struck by a box truck in Rockport on Friday, according to police.

Authorities received two 911 calls shortly before 3 p.m. that the pedestrian had been struck by the small box truck on Railroad Avenue. Officers arrived and saw the elderly woman being aided by the driver of the truck and two passersby, the Rockport Police Department said in a statement.

First responders with the Gloucester Fire Department initially took the woman to Evans Field, a baseball field, where she was expected to be flown by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital. However, instead, she was driven by ambulance to Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester, where she was later pronounced dead, according to the statement.

The driver remained at the scene of the crash and is cooperating with law enforcement. The investigation by Rockport police, the Essex District Attorney’s Office and Massachusetts State Police is ongoing.
