A woman has died after being struck by a truck Tuesday morning in Cambridge's Harvard Square.
Sharon Hamer, 67, of Cambridge, was hit by a boom truck while crossing the street sometime before 6:53 a.m. near Out of Town News in the heart of the bustling student enclave, the office of Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said.
According to a preliminary investigation, the woman was not in the crosswalk, Ryan said in a statement.

Leyla Yildiz said she was walking to work nearby just after the crash happened.
