A city employee died Monday after she was hit by a truck in a Cumming parking lot, officials said.
In a statement, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Stacie Miller said the employee was hit at around 7 a.m. in the parking lot of the City of Cumming Water Facilities on Dahlonega Highway. She was pronounced dead at the scene, deputies said.
While the 44-year-old woman was not publicly identified, City Administrator Phil Higgins said the city was “devastated” to lose one of their “treasured” employees.
“The City of Cumming is very much a family, and we are all in shock and utterly heartbroken following this morning’s tragedy,“ Higgins said. ”We ask for the community to join us in prayer for the family and friends of our lost employee, as well as for our entire City of Cumming family.”
Miller said the crash remains under investigation.
