A woman lost her life Monday afternoon after a pickup truck struck two pedestrians in the parking lot of Boscov’s in Exeter Township.

The collision occurred around 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 16 at the department store located at 4500 Perkiomen Avenue. Exeter Township Police responded to reports of a vehicle crash involving pedestrians in the shopping center lot.

Investigators determined that two adult women were crossing the parking lot when a pickup truck, turning into a travel lane directly in front of the store, hit them.

Both women were transported for medical treatment. One later died from injuries sustained in the crash. The condition of the second pedestrian has not been released.

Police reported that the driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.

The Exeter Township Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit continues to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Authorities say the investigation remains active and are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has information to contact the department at 610-779-1490.

Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall has died at 95. Known for iconic roles in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Tender Mercies, Duvall built a six-decade career marked by versatility, discipline, and critical acclaim. He earned seven Oscar nominations, winning Best Actor in 1984, and received the National Medal of Arts. Beyond acting, he directed and produced independent films and pursued a passion for tango. He died peacefully at his Virginia home.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, longtime civil rights leader and former presidential candidate, has died at 84. His family confirmed his passing, though a cause of death has not been released. Jackson was a key figure in the civil rights movement and founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
