BRECKENRIDGE, Colo.—The death of an Iraq War veteran hit and killed by a trolley bus in this resort town was an accident, the county coroner says.
Lynn Scutellaro, a 28-year-old helicopter pilot and captain in the Colorado National Guard from Evergreen, was crossing a street just before 9 p.m. on July 7 when a town trolley bus struck and killed her.
Coroner Joanne Richardson ruled on Wednesday that the death was an accident.
The driver, David Vickers, 50, was cleared. He had been on administrative leave. The town has reviewed its training procedures to try to avoid future accidents.
Scutellaro returned from Iraq last November after a 12-month deployment with Colorado’s 89th Troop Command.
