The woman hit by a pickup truck in the King Kullen parking lot Sunday afternoon succumbed to her injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital yesterday, a hospital spokesperson said this morning.
Martha Garcia, 51, of Hampton Bays, was struck by a 2015 Chevy Silverado pickup truck operated by Emily Hill, 43, of Riverhead, shortly before 1 p.m., according to Riverhead Town Police.
