PRINCETON — Police are investigating an incident Monday evening where a 62-year-old woman was killed crossing the street after being hit by a cement truck.

According to police, Leslie Goodrich Rubin was crossing at the intersection of Nassau Street and Washington Road when she was hit by the truck. Ralph Allen, 60, of Tabernacle, was identified as the driver of the truck. Police said he turned left onto Washington Road and hit Rubin.
