The AP is reporting that a 22-year-old woman has died after being struck by a garbage truck while riding her bicycle near Dupont Circle this morning. The garbage truck, which was not owned by the city but rather a private company, struck the woman at Connecticut and R Streets NW just before 8:30 a.m. The roadway around the accident site was shut down while officers investigated the scene. The woman has not yet been identified.

UPDATE 11:18 a.m.: Reader Giacomo Abrusci sends in some images of the scene of the accident. You can see the outline of where the woman was struck in the pedestrian crosswalk at 20th and R Streets above. The Post also has a story up now with a chilling quote from Fire and EMS spokesperson Alan Etter: “The truck just ran completely over her,” Etter said. The truck was owned by KMG Hauling Inc., a company based in Sterling. It’s still not clear whether this driver was working on a job for the city or a private residence or business.
