GREENSBURG, Ind. (WISH) – A 20-year-old woman died Monday after being hit by a vehicle near Greensburg.

According to a release from Indiana State Police, troopers first received the call around 7:15 p.m. Preliminarily, police say 94-year-old Rosemary Schroeder was driving northbound on Moscow Road approaching Veterans Way and 20-year-old Dorothy L.
