According to NHP, the driver of a white 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was traveling south on Airport Road and was approaching the intersection with U.S. 50.
The driver then made a left-hand turn to travel east on the highway and hit Romesburg with the front part of the truck.
The driver then stopped on the shoulder of U.S. 50, just east of the intersection, authorities said.
