Pedestrian waiting to be picked up killed in crash

GOSHEN, Ind. -- A pedestrian was killed by the vehicle that was picking her up Wednesday morning, according to Goshen Police.

The crash happened in the 2600 block of Ashton Pines around 8 a.m.

The driver told police she was an employee of ADEC and was there to pick up the victim, a 44-year old woman.
